Okay no exclusivity

This bodes well for ff7r2

The exclusivity deals appear to have been good for no one involved: Epic, Square Enix, Sony, or customers, so I think we’ve seen the last of them outside of things Epic publishes themselves.

Good! I refuse to participate in that shit, but it really sucks to have to wait an extra year so some other schmuck can make more money…

How was it bad for epic? They would’ve made more from cuts on sales on steam than selling the full game at the lower rates on their own store? God I wonder how dismal their customer engagement rate is.

They paid more for it than they saw back in sales or expected new customers. What they’ve said publicly is that they won’t be using this strategy anymore, because it isn’t working. They claim free game giveaways are working, but I have my doubts as to how valuable those user acquisitions are.
