      Which is admirable. However, that has absolutely nothing to do with platforms. EGS has actively sought to divide PC platforms instead of bring them together and divided consumers. It's what one might consider a "consumer adversarial" strategy. Publishers have been happy, though!

      Cross-platform play has nothing to do with platforms? Epic's online service (friends, etc) are open to all platforms and stores, as demonstrated by Dauntless on PC, Xbox, and PS4. Compare to Steam social features which are locked down to only PC games launched by Steam.

      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.

      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.

      with the amount of money you've spent on making exclusivity deals, why not fund/make new exclusive games for yourself instead of seeking third parties?

      We’re helping fund new games from many developers, most not yet announced. The first year’s store announcements were mainly existing games because they were the ones that were coming soon, whereas funding new games takes longer.

          Over time as each game itself is publicly announced or its platform and release dates are announced. It’ll all up to the developer.

          How about spend the tiny bit of money and time (comparatively) to develop your store and launcher first, so if you're going to force people to use it to play certain games at least it softens the blow a bit.

          Although I don't agree with a lot of the market tactics for Epic games store, I have to commend the Epic "MegaGrant" for supporting awesome open-source projects like Blender and Godot.

          cool, definitely like the sound of that much more than buying games that are already made/were meant to release elsewhere. if this type of exclusivity becomes the norm and EGS becomes at least a competent storefront (shopping cart, reviews, etc), I might lift my personal EGS ban

          You're welcome to fund and publish new games across all platforms including your own store - so it would actually benefit everyone, again, including your own store when you actually make it into a considerable option instead of a temporarily mandated application limited by OS.
