But when a dev refuses to put a game on sale, or sells a game for $20 or $30 instead of the standard $15, or only sells on Itch & Epic instead of Steam, know that they are trying to make more money, which may or may not benefit you. This so much. Devs don't care at all about improving the system. They care about making more money, regardless of whether it helps or harms the system. The Epic exclusivity isn't about improving the system. It's Epic cutting them a fat check that'll more than make up for the lower sales caused by being exclusive to a store with smaller userbase. I fail to see how limiting consumer choice helps the system. --- ""Love" is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope."
