      "each individual" yes, i know they have rights to choose a store that gives them huge loads of money, but we costumers, the ones who also pay to use their product and follow their products with joy to have a really good time playing, have no word?

      These statements are consistent. 99.9% of game playing is on mobile, console, and PC. A game developer who’s frustrated with other platforms can’t just retreat to Linux. They couldn’t earn a living. We have to fight for our freedoms on today’s platforms as they stand.

      "We have to fight for our freedoms on today’s platforms as they stand.", and isn't that what some customers are doing complaining about epic? and that devs like Laylacode, AOne Games, and even CEO like Pitchford and you are calling trolls?

      You can’t have a “right to buy every game on Steam” without taking away every developer’s right to release their game however they choose.

      There’s isn’t a right to buy a game wherever you want. If there were, it would take away developers’ freedom to decide how to release their games!

      You cant just shit over the all gamers, Mister Sweeney! We have questions! Why do you say that the developers themselves should decide in which store to release the game, but at the same time bribe the publishers themselves so that they release the games in your store? Mr Sweeney

      Developers can decide to distribute their games directly themselves, or can decide to work with a publisher and delegate their right to distribute and make distribution decisions to the publisher. Epic deals with whoever ultimately holds that right.

          And what if an incompetent publisher decided for the developer (IE Take-Two forced obsidian entertainment, Deep Silver forced 4A games), leading the developer to do a mad rush of "oh god what do we do" and then leaving them to the wolves of PR?

          If you really wanted to help, considering current track record both Deep Silver and Take-Two are horrible publishers who disregard their developers wishes, clearly, so why not fund them to get them 'out' of said publisher, and get them to then self-publish on your platform

          You throw money at as many devs as you can just so you can keep pushing forward with this stupid PC "exclusivity war" THAT YOU STARTED! It's a war that Steam isn't interested in being a part of and I don't blame them! PC gaming was so much better in 2018...

          Vote with your wallet, it's the only vote that has any value in the end. Devs are already paid for their present games, the only way to solve this conflict is to prove developers that they need more than epic's money, they need a player base to await their next game.

          Way to dodge the question, if you pay off a Publisher and the Dev is against it, they have no choice and are forced to go on your shitty "store."

          Interesting tidbit: Epic doesn't want SkateBIRD. They say they're focusing on exclusives, and SkateBIRD promised Steam keys in its KS, therefore, nah. I suppose that may change by our launch, but it seemed like an interesting data point anyways.
