It definitely is a negative spin. I know people like the convenience of having one store, but Valve isn't entitled to a monopoly and frankly Epic using their Fortnite cash to get as many exclusives as possible to get as many people on their store as fast as possible was their only move when facing a juggernaut. Competition between them will be good.

There is a difference between buying exclusivity in the early stages and buying exclusivity after the game was announced for a different platform.

In my case, phoenix point is the final straw that made me REALLY hate epic.

>buying exclusivity after the game was announced for a different platform

contracts take two parties to agree to something.

IMO epic is still majorily at fault for that, due to offering the incentive in the first place, either due to incompetence or malice, while also saying that valve is engaging in monopolistic tactics.

Again, how is this Epic's problem?
