A free game every week, Epic funded discounts, competitive games with no pay to win mechanics, no loot boxes, cross platform play and purchasing in Fortnite across 7 platforms now being adopted by more games.

And if you don't believe that giving developers 88% instead of 70%, and Unreal Dev Grants, and Epic MegaGrants, and Unreal Engine and Epic Online services being freely available don't ultimately benefit consumers, you have a tenuous grip on cause and effect.

Given all that, why do you feel the need to engage in monopolistic practices? It really reeks. I was a huge fan of Epic Store and what you were trying to do, up until you started trying to lock people in with exclusives. It's a huge step back and not something I can support.

Exclusives are one way for a new store offering a better deal to compete with an existing store with 90% marketshare. Developers and publishers have to band together to change the industry for the better, and this is a way to do that.

Big companies have long done this internally, for example with EA and Activision selling most of their products exclusively on their stores.
