Blackmail is an illegal act, you are accusing them of doing blackmail. Epic didn't steal anything either, the dev/pubs voluntarily put their games only on EGS. There is no bribing because it is a legal business transaction. Stop making false accusations of Epic breaking the law.

The verbs truthfully describing Epic’s partnerships with developers and publishers are: offering, paying, and exclusively selling. The folks using the terms blackmailing, bribing, and stealing are manipulative and dishonest.

If one wants to hate Epic and the way we’re changing PC game distribution, it’s perfectly fine to do that based on the actual facts. It doesn’t require descending into this bizarre edge lord alternate reality where Epic financially supporting developers is “bribery”.

It's the same thing that almost ruined the Xbox brand at the launch of Xbox One. Microsoft wanted to force always online, removing our choice. You are buying exclusives, also removing our choice. MS reversed their decision and gave us the choice back.

Today Microsoft is competing with Sony by releasing good game, services and features. Not buying exclusives and removing our choices.

Epic isn’t exerting some sort of power of compulsion to secure exclusives. Each one is a mutually agreed and mutually beneficial choice made together by Epic and the game’s developer or publisher. We want unique games and they want a better deal than 30%.

If we didn’t pursue exclusives, I feel we’d be failing at our basic mission of changing store economics to benefit developers. There’s a long history of alternative stores that tried for years and never gained more than 1% marketshare.

Because ultimately it’s about the games. An indie store selling the same stuff as a store with 90% market share but with slightly different features doesn’t have a chance.

You getting better at explaining it, I think in 2020 it's gonna be easier for people to accept the truth

It's going to get easier once Tim Sweeney can show me what's in it for ME. As a person who appreciate store features, I'm having a hard time accepting EGS in its current state.

Fair point! It’s come a ways in 2019 and will go a lot further in 2020.

But you can't tell when achievements will arrive? I'm also wondering how they will work. Leveling system?

Achievements are in the works for later in 2020 and will work similar to other platforms, so developers can easily integrate them alongside console and Steam achievements.
