      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

      This was your choice of topic. Your thread started with "If @TimSweeneyEpic wanted platforms working together"...

      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.

      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.

      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.
