So venture capitalism. Because that worked out so well for consumers with the rest of the tech industry. Wcgw?
Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store

The way Coffee Stain explained it is that the exclusivity windfall gave them enough runway to finish the game.
If the system of temporary exclusivity in exchange for upfront development cash continues I think it’s an overall win for the gaming community as games get to come out at leas rushed pace and with potentially less cash generation grabs in the game itself.

Nothing has gone wrong, and it’s been going on for years at this point. But yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe aliens will invade us because people use Epic. Maybe the sun will go supernova because the Epic store doesn’t have reviews.
Who knows, anything could happen.

That’s great that devs can benefit from it, I will not purchase the game until it’s available on other platforms due to Epic’s general shitty behavior.
