Of course epic pay for the exclusive and then pay a bigger cut to developers, if a developer sees this as a good deal. ie as a steam user a new release is on £39.99, how much of a reduction would it take for you to install another software/store, 5%, 10%, 20%? Such a Richard move.But without exclusives how are they going to get people to install the epic store, even running a couple of quid cheaper here and there isn't enough to move people on a one off basis. They chose to do neither and instead spend their millions buying up exclusives and hurting the industry. price, features, security, reputation, whatever.īuying up an exclusive does the exact opposite - less competition, less choice, higher prices and ultimately less money for publishers in the end.Įpic could have competed with Steam - use the extra 15% they have to cut prices on the store (offering competition!) or use the millions they made from Fortnite to build a store/ecosystem that could compete on features. Competition relies on multiple vendors offering the same (or similar, in some cases) product and competing on something - e.g. Competition is indeed good, but Epic doesn't offer any at all.
