What do I win?
How was it exclusive if it was available to purchase in two separate places? Maybe if your comment had a qualifier like "digital download version exclusive" it could be considered correct
Based on the other poster above, it was the Darwinia devs who reached out to Steam. So Darwinia isn't a particularly good example either.
What's your point though? Every one of Epic's exclusivity deals is done with the consent of the game publisher. Does it matter who makes the offer? Do we even know that there aren't cases of publishers reaching out to Epic?
Does anyone know how to permalink a post on Lemmy? Anyway, here's what Snot said:
Gamers and developers benefit from the developers being paid rather than not being paid for the same thing.
