You misunderstood. He's talking about Steam and Epic as the platforms.

No, he knows. It's called a diversionary tactic. Change the topic away from EGS and talk about the good things Fortnite has done... ...Like work developers to the bone on 70+ hour work weeks to meet unprecedentedly high popularity for a game. Epic supports devs!pic.twitter.com/Iqbdo4uWjf

The rest says: "...he'd use his immense wealth to back
@GOGGalaxy instead the@EpicGames Store. Put his money where his mouth is." Yet we are talking about Fortnite instead of Epic using exclusivity in an attempt to put GOG out of business. Doesn't sound very cooperative.1 reply 0 retweets 11 likes -

What do you want Epic to do with GOG exactly? Please be specific.

It would be illogical to expect you to back a competitor financially. However, not blocking products from your competitors (exclusivity) would be a great way for Epic to compete on it's own merits. In the end, Epic, GOG, devs, and consumers all win. Steam too, if they step up.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We pursue exclusives because it’s the best chance for changing the industry’s 30% fee status quo. If we stopped with exclusives, 99% of the benefit would be expected accrue to Steam and 1% to GOG, because Steam is around 100x bigger than GOG.

And when you have forced to the customers to your store, what are you going to offer them to keep them wanting to use it? GOG is DRM free, the XBOX app has Gamepass. What does EGS offer to make customers want to use it, rather then just have to?

Right now: free games, major exclusives, Epic funded sales, Fortnite. Over time, more features.

But you also started out by saying big sales with deep discounts is just devaluing games with a race to the bottom, so which is it? :p I'd personally say "Fortnite" is the saddest damn thing you could list as a bullet-point for a launcher, to be honest.
