      I usually have a lot of time for this writer but this is a very silly article. Epic's goal isn't to drive anyone out of business, and they have been quite open about their strategy. The PC games market is big enough to support more than one store.https://www.vg247.com/2019/07/09/epic-games-wants-pc-games-market-to-itself/ …

      Please stop trying to normalize anti-cosumer practices like 3rd party exclusivity and the deliberate attempts to move flocks of pc gamers to a drastically inferior pc gaming digital platform without any benefits in the short or even long term.

      It's so blatant that even Mr. @TimSweeneyEpic is making fun of consumer demands like shopping carts and shrugging it off via tweets, same for other features that were promised at least two months ago.

      Even if Epic clarifies day and night they're not trying to monopolize sales, then where does their policy lead? It's also mind boggling how Epic Games is trying to fragment this market, then the next day Sweeney congratulates GOG for 1/3 of Cyberpunk 2077 preorders being on it.

      The ultimate goal is lots of stores and platforms competing for customers, interoperability between all of them, and great revenue sharing terms for developers. The things GOG and Epic are each working on independently are all pieces of this puzzle.

      How will there be competition when exclusives effectively "negate" all competition for other stores which get games 6-12 months after release? How can X store get customers while games are locked to one platform to begin with?

      Exclusives are a strategy for stores and platforms to compete with each other to offer the best deals for developers and publishers, as a means to bringing in new customers. There’s competition both on the supply side and on the demand side.

          And the losing side is of course the consumer, we're just watching companies fight over market share, revenue and games, while we can't even choose where to buy our games, and some of those very stores have far inferior features and accessibility.

          Keeping this up will not improve anything, Mr. Sweeney, unless one backs down which is fantasy at this point, it will keep on and on, the fight for exclusives will create a larger sense of aggressive competition resulting in big huts here and there acting as closed markets.

          So in the end it doesn't help competition It just makes it so you can share a monopolist reach on that game for 6 months to 1 year on pc, even though you NEVER helped with development, you just threw cash at them later on when the game is already about done.

          Epic should make exclusives like they did with fortnite, the other launchers do not take away the ability to buy AAA/indie titles they don't develope. 3rd party sites also take a 70/30 split and is divided between the publisher and hosting key site only no one else.

          What happens when the High Seas is a better option? You forgot to factor in that people are not that stupid, a awful service selling Exclusives when there´s alternatives to aquire the same product will always lose. People need reason to BUY, and the answer is a Good Service.
