Why the hell didn't they just realease it on both platforms? OR release it on EPIC a month before it's available on Steam?<br>So what if Steam has a monopoly on the whole online games store thing, they have been doing it for like 14 years or something, they revolutionised the gaming industry with thing tech.,(reply>), Epic store is compelling for developers to sell their products on there because Epic is paying more to the company than Steam. As much as 89 percent of the profits goes towards the developer's instead of steam taking as much as 30 percent. Incentive to decrease the cost of the game by 1/6th to 50 dollars.,(reply>), Epic just isn't willing to compete with steam on the same level steam operates on, they're using exclusivity to avoid directly competing for market share. Publishers use some bs excuse to blame valve for why they don't pay their developers a proper wage. Personally I won't be buying it until its out on Steam.. bummer.,(reply>), Yeh or same day but epic is $50 steam $60 like it was/is not exclusive for a year. Hence you pick and pay for whatever platform you want much like picking between PS/XB.<br>We consumers don't benefit from this.<br>I still wanna play the game though and support the dev. /torn,(reply>), Because Epic is paying developers and publishers to ditch Steam. I don't see how the fuck I benefit from this as a consumer.
