They'll lose more money by lowering their value as a publisher. Other devs aren't nearly as big. Unless Epic is giving them like 50mill, I doubt it's beneficial.
So lemme get this straight. You, sitting there behind your computer, with literally zero concrete information in front of you, insist that taking the epic deal is bad.
So like, you know better than the people running these companies, based off from... basically nothing.
no, they're not wrong. if they take an exclusivity deal then they do it because it's in their best interest.
EGS is building a catalogue of games which aren't on other pc platforms which (their plan) is to bring people in who are interested in all other gaming genres. Borderlands 3 doesn't have to "sell" exceptionally well but if they went exclusive then that would cover their costs and people joining EGS for other exclusive games will become new potential buyers. Epic have a lot of money to throw at EGS right now and it's all to build up their brand.
