An even better idea for them is to stop getting games to be exclusive to their shitty store.

Most of their exclusive games are first party games. Epic takes any third party game they can to keep on their dogshit store. Most first party Microsoft shit isn't only on the Windows Store anymore. And even Sony's putting shit like God of War 2018 and Uncharted 4 on PC.

Most of Steam's exclusive games are absolutely not first-party.

The Chinese government is becoming way more restrictive on domestic and foreign media, even in just the last year or two.

I think we'll see a lot of companies pull back from China, where they've already invested a lot of money, because it's becoming apparent the country is too fickle to be a reliable market.

So what? Steam is where everyone is. Why would game companies bother with all these other stores that no one uses?

Nothing wrong with the store. Don't like it? Miss out on playing the game. EPIC is great and it nice they get the exclusives.

Theyre not going to give you free VBucks for promoting them.
Store is still fantastic.

Except they're not trying to compete by offering a better product. It's missing tons of features that Steam has had for years and the only thing they can do is buy exclusivity and bait people with free games.

Because they don't like Steam's model? :O

I'm sure the bigger cut of the profits they get will matter a lot when they sell way less because it's on the Epic Games Store.

Implying they'll sell lots on Steam on userbase alone? Because nothing outside AAA titles get any recognition amongst the sea of garbage and shovelware that plagues the platform. This has been a complaint among indie and smaller devs for awhile now.

The Steam "exclusives" darknight is referring to are only exclusive because of its low barrier to entry, not scale or superiority. If a game isn't total garbage there's no reason to be exclusive to Steam, you can publish to other storefronts.

Even though they are Separate Products, Epic does have the Free UnReal Game Dev Engine
