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.

I will reiterate my simple question, if you want to actually help developers, will you instead help them self-publish and fund their endeavors that way, ditching publishers like 2k/Take Two, EA and others
-
About half of our Epic Games store partnerships are already with developers rather than publishers. Though the early announced ones are mostly games near completion, we’re making a lot of early developer-funding partnerships now. That’s in addition tohttps://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/megagrants …

"forcing by way of money" isn't a fair description if you put it that way because you left out the main reason to be perceived in that way. You force by offering a number bigger than the developer / publisher willpower for a ethical stance against trowing customers under the bus

When their ethical threshold is weak, they won't look good on the family photo either obviously. Obviously as an head start getting 43k individual purchases worth compared to 10k supporters / customers (worst case scenario loss, obviously far less) i'd sacrifice the cattle too.

We call it forced because it might be beneficial for companies, but it's not beneficial for consumers And anything that doesn't benefit us should NOT concern us at all, isn't that right?

now devs change the way they announce it like "so let’s be honest. Doing this guarantees that the game makes enough money" stated by What the golf? and even the "We don't like exclusives" Rebellion said it too.

Maybe an unfair description for you but it's a reality. What company risks its brand getting destroyed and its image shunned by all manners of critics for free? The (10s) millions facilitates those deals! Consumer choice and the pc games market openness is meanwhile threatened.

You call it "funding exclusives", but it's really just a disruptive, monopolistic move to hog games and keep them away from the competition by the force of heavily monetized deals in favor of devs and pubs.
