Twinblade★ 3,929 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Quote Epic Games is doubling down on its strategy of signing developers to deals to bring their games to the Epic Games Store as either full or timed exclusives. A spokesperson told PC Gamer that Epic has more exclusives on the way in 2021/2022 than it's ever had in total. "We have more exclusives coming in the next two years than we have published to date," a spokesperson said. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/epic-store-will-have-more-exclusives-than-ever-in-2021-2022/1100-6487228/?TheTime=2021-02-08T15%3A41%3A00&ServiceType=twitter&PostType=image&ftag=ftag%3DGSS-05-10aab8e&UniqueID=0B14A88A-6A24-11EB-B62B-B27A0EDC252D Bad news for the butthurt Steam fanboys who refuse to buy any game that isn't available on Steam.

This is a terrible thing. the other platform. epic's goal here is that they want people to use their store, they are doing that by having content that cannot be found on steam.

ChupacabraIII 134 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Nah you're dumb because you don't see that this isn't competition, its Epic trying aggressively to take market share from steam. Which would be fine, until you start talking exclusives. Don't believe me? Remember when Netflix is basically the only viable streaming service? Look at the stream service industry now. 1000's of apps all with exclusives. We ran from cable to cut costs and, slowly, streaming has become almost as expensive as cable. If you don't think that's what's gonna happen if game stores continue this exclusivity bullshit then you are a moron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,728 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Epic is giving free games left and right, are starting to do multiplat publishing for niche devs that don't have a budget yeah people still bitch about EGS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'd rather buy a game on STEAM than get it for free on EGS. A bunch of timed exclusives isn't going to change anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone just waits until the Steam releases and that's the end of it. this is utter bs. Metro Exodus actually sold almost 3x more on EGS than its predecessor did on steam. And there are numerous other success stories related to sales of EGS exclusive games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
