En række større udgivere har efterhånden vist interesse i at lade deres spil blive eksklusive til Epic Game Store for en stund, og særligt mindre udviklere lader til at tage imod de ekstra midler det giver dem med kyshånd. Dog lader det ikke til at vi skal regne med at Bandai Namco-spil bliver eksklusive lige foreløbig.
I et interview med MCV fortæller Bandai Namco-kommunikationschefen Hervé Hoerdt, at de som udgiver ikke er interesserede i at nogle af deres spil skal være eksklusive til Epic-spilbutikken.
"We cannot do everything and Japanese [companies] are not risk averse but we're going slowly. So we have a full platform strategy. The main focus for us is the consumer and the brand. And for each brand we decide what's the best way to satisfy the consumer and to engage the widest audience possible. So for instance, I don't see any point of putting Tekken 7 on Epic Store. Epic is just another store. It's fantastic, they have a lot of strength and [lots of] users, the business model is attractive to us because it's more profitable but still, their interest is, if I'm correct, exclusivity. And this is not our vision. We want our content to be available for as many fans as possible. I don't think we'll deal with Epic in the short term, while we have this strategy. But of course, if they're open, we'll go there."
Er du glad for at nogle udgivere siger nej tak til tilbuddet om eksklusivitet?
