I sidste uge afslørede Epic Games, at de fortsat har i sinde at benytte eksklusive aftaler med udviklere, til at lokke forbrugere væk fra Steam og over på Epic Games Store. Det har ikke været så svært, når nu der er mindre konkurrence på platformen, og at de får en større andel af hvert salg.
Både Control, The Outer Worlds, Quantic Dreams' spil og mange flere bliver eksklusive til Epic Games Store, men de vil ikke jagte eksklusiver for evigt.
I et interview med PC Gamer under GDC-messen fortæller Epic Games Store-chefen Steve Allison, at det bare er noget de gør til at starte med.
"I don't think we plan to [pursue exclusives] forever. We'll probably do it for a while. It's just about pushing the business model, helping people thrive, but at some point hopefully people just come, or the industry moves down and matches us ... I understand the sentiment about it, so I'm pretty sensitive to how I answer this question, but the answer is yes, at some point we could go to zero, or we could go to very, very few major exclusives in any given year. We will definitely not be doing it on the scale we're doing it on now for an extended period of time."
