For smaller developers and publishers to get a better deal for themselves, they need to band together as Epic is facilitating by funding exclusives. We guarantee them revenue so that Epic takes the risk proportionally to the benefit Epic gets from growing a store.

To say that EA and Activision and Microsoft and Sony first party exclusives are okay but Epic third party partner exclusives aren’t is to say that only megacorporations should benefit from economies of scale in distribution, while the little guys forever pay 30% taxes.

EA just decided to come back to Steam and Activision is far more careful. They sell Call of Duty on Battlenet, but other titles which they publish are still released on Steam(Sekiro, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, etc.). And Blizzard games have always been on Battlenet.

the difference here is, they exclusively sold THERE games on THERE store instead of buying exclusivity to a game weeks before release.
