      Hi Mark, we’re still in the early, hand-curated days of the Epic Games store where we can only accommodate a small number of releases. See the launch announcement:https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/announcing-the-epic-games-store …

      You offered to carry the game but only if the were exclusively in Epic. Seems like you had the ability to, but lacked the desire to carry them.

      Please see my responses throughout this thread. We've been looking to fill around 100 release slots before the store opens up more widely, and this has led to conversations with 100's of developers.

      Many developers were interested in many different types of partnership arrangements. Ultimately we selected titles that the store team felt were the best fit based on lots of factors, including willingness to launch exclusively.

      Exclusivity opens up a lot of possibilities for launch partnerships that don't make sense otherwise. For example, with an exclusive, Epic can invest very significantly in marketing a new indie game, knowing that all the benefits accrue to the developer and the Epic Games store.

      Yes, but more importanly, it makes gamers want to curb stomp you for stripping them of a choice that only they have a right to make. Where and how we choose to buy our games. You, in NO way, have a right to tell ANYONE they have to use YOUR method of purchase...

      ...Outside of first party titles. Where we buy third party tiles is NONE of your business. EVER. I'm gonna leave it at this because it's pissing me off just to think about it and I don't want to start cussing your ignorant ass out.

      What is the underlying principle here? That exclusives are bad unless they’re first party or console based or mobile or movies and television or Darwinia or third party games that became first party through acquisition, which are all okay to be exclusive?

          With your exclusivity deals, it's giving the devs money at the end of the finish line and they barely use the money while with console exclusives, the publisher give devs full funding from the start and use a lot of it. Obviously, you rushed exclusives just to make egs "better"

          Microsoft has done amazing things with their buyouts of companies, allowing them to keep em on all platforms if they were bought out mid development.

          Look at how appealing is netflix, hbo, hulu, disney and the rapidly multiplying platforms are and you'll get the answer... it's a matter of service and commodity vs price ratios... For pc games trying to fragment content access without a good value service wise

          If you have a awesome service behind the exclusives you choose to endorse people will accept it well enough... but it is a balance, that on consoles determines the playstation vs xbox or nintendo that goes ham on high quality exclusives. This is why EGS is getting such disdain.

          No, they are all miserable. Forcing it on people without acknowledging the main purpose (putting money in your corner) is disingenuous. Even worse is the EXCESSIVE amounts you charge for aesthetic items and lack or attribution (which you keep dodging)

          If gog can waive cyberpunk exclusivity and valve encourage a non-exclusive policy then why not epic?

          Simply that they are bad when the game is already announce elsewhere. For the rest, hunting devs/publishers to purpose exclusivity could be wrong but it's less wrong that what happened with Metro Exodus or other games that were backed and already announced.

          Tim people have nothing against exclusives it's just an excuse they want steam and only steam just try to finish the store faster and they won't be able to say anything against it
