it's the paypal problem
sellers everywhere fucking hate paypal
but they all still use it because buyers fucking love paypal
I'd say PayPal problem but in reverse, customers hate Epic but still have to put up with it to get to the exclusives.
sort of. the fact that egs is still not profitable on its own merits and that developers still shuttle their games over to steam once exclusivity is up tells me that not enough customers are taking the bait.
if being on egs didn’t mean taking a huge hit in total sales, developers would be putting games exclusively on it without uncle tim slapping them over the face with a bag of money
