      It sound like you didn't understand the point of my question so let me explain because you are taking your time for trolling. Uplay and Origin I think having something similar when you bind a game to your account with HB (it always fail, but the support is there to help)

      In case of Uplay and Origin, same the games on steam are only a shortcut to lunch their launcher. It's not the case on EGS because it's just an exclusivity deal that after a time will be removed.

      So my question is the next one. If I receive an EGS game on HB, can I wait until the exclusivity deal is done and ask a Steam key ? Thanks to @TimSweeneyEpic to answering this question and I hope also to think if we could sell / give these games if we not want them.

      If developers and publishers wanted to provide Steam keys for games purchased on Epic Games store, we’d support that. We’d love to work with other stores to enable all purchases to be recognized everywhere, similar to Fortnite’s support for cross-purchasing across 7 platforms.

      How is this statement congruent to the treatment DARQ received in regards to exclusivity and refusal to allow multi storefront distribution?

      All quality games will be welcome when we open the Epic Games store up widely. For now, we’re working with a small number of developers and publishers on releases, and prioritize these opportunities based on the impact we and they can have on a successful release.

      Generally, the highest priority games are those where we can provide significant funding for development or marketing in exchange for exclusivity. We have a number of AAA and indie non-exclusives, but can only accommodate a small fraction of upcomingg games right now.

          Opening up more widely is dependent on finishing a wide range of features for developers to manage their store releases to launch, update, market, and analyze their products. This effort is led by a small engineering team that’s growing as quickly as we can onboard new folks.

          “We’re doing this for the developer! Why can’t you guys see that?!” Developer- “I’m not interested in exclusivity because I made a promise and want to keep it but I’d love to be on your store along side others.” Tim- “LOL go away. It’s all me or nothing.” Yes... the developer.

          Kinda contradicts your whole statement when it's you [Epic Games] approaching indie devs and forcing them to go exclusive or shutting down all opportunities. If it were the other way around like indie devs coming to your store for exclusivity then your statement would be valid.

          When you can't succeed through merit, you resort to desperate measures. Tim wants his store to succeed at any cost. In the short term, it likely will. In the long run, though, he's going to fail. HARD. There's only so many chances you can be given before the customer bails on you

          With this point I don't understand why you wouldn't want to just host the game & invest in no advertising since they didn't take the deal, let the dev get some sales @ 88% and you get some @ 12%. Win all around with nothing spent on your end. What is the bottleneck? Bandwith?

          The highest priority targets are the ones that will inflict the most damage to the stability a customer feels about getting the game they really want on Steam, attack Steam using it's own customers as weapons against them in a war you started! Well you're not getting me!
