Comment on What's up with Epic Games?
cottonmon@lemmy.world 5 months agoYeah, this caused A LOT of controversy back then. As far as I know, Epic has stopped doing this and has pivoted a bit more into funding game development (i.e Alan Wake 2.) That being said, that gave Epic have a terrible reputation when they initially launched EGS.

They are still doing it. I’m still waiting for dead island 2 to come to steam because it’s a 1 year timed exclusive on epic

They still sign exclusives, they don’t do it with crowdfunded projects that promised a Steam release anymore.

I meant with crowd funded games. I’m aware that they still buy exclusivity though from what I know they pay indies less compared to what they used to pay.
