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

      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.

      I understand what you're trying to do, but I wish you'd found another strategy to achieve it. You''ve lost customers and goodwill because of this, but I can't know if a less predatory strategy would have been more successful. But I've never bought a console, for the same reasons.

      The predators here are the stores taking 30% of the proceeds from games they neither created nor funded. In most cases, they make more profit than the developers who actually built the products. I feel developers, publishers, and Epic have every right to go this way.

      You have every right to decide whether to buy a game based on the developer or publisher or store’s choices. Jedi Fallen Order came to Origin, Epic, and Steam. Ubisoft is doing better with Uplay plus Epic than they were previously. PC gaming is strong.

      Yeah, Ubisoft is doing so much better that they reduced the expected operating income of 2019-2020 fiscal year from €480 million to €20-€50 million. https://ubistatic19-a.akamaihd.net/comsite_common/en-US/images/pressrelease_downloadablemm_20191024_041032_ubisoft_2019_20targetsupdate_tcm99-358162_tcm99-196733-32.pdf …

      That's because they delayed all their games to the next fiscal year and Ghost Recon Breakpoint was a flop itself, not because of Epic. PS. that isn't only for PC, PC Gamers are only a small part of that income.

      Then why he says that "Ubisoft is doing better with Epic" when they're doing worse overall?

      What does Ubisoft’s decision to delay games have to do with Epic?

          When you divide your launch portfolio to six different platforms, not including your own, while still trying to push out several AAA titles (sequels at that) it's a risk. It had nothing to do with Epic and everything to do with Ubisoft.
