Maybe I'm too young to understand, but why don't devs just put their games on Steam and EGS at the same time?
Then customers pick, right?

publishers and devs don't want customers to have a choice

Because devs want the massive amounts of money epic is paying them for exclusivity vs steam giving them nothing and taking 30% of sales? Only makes sense, fuck steam its a monopoly.
Juan Martinez
The devs/publishers who publish exclusively on EGS probably get good deals for not making it available elsewhere.
Samuel Thomas
But how come there's hundereds and maybe even thousands of exclusive games on Steam but not a single person been crying about that?
Dominic Thomas
EGS pays for exclusivity, games used to be available through both ubishop, steam, gog etc at the same time
Adrian Perez
Devs aren't choosing Epic for the bigger cut they get, they do it because Epic gives them money for paid exclusivity so even if the game sells like shit the publisher doesn't complaim.
Oliver Lewis
Because valve drones like being fucked by the monopoly
Liam Williams
Because Epic pays cash equals to a fixed amount of sales in exchange to exclusivity. So even if your game doesn't sell you will still make money. It's literally risk-free.
Tyler Sanchez
because people crying about it being a monopoly are either useful paid idiots or people who have no idea what a monopoly even is
