It's a tweet from user PC_Focus_ that states:
The next Epic Store FREE games has been leaked:
13th game: Ghostrunner
14th game: Escape Academy
15th game: 20 minutes till dawn
16th game: A plague tale innocence
17th game: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
This is only in the case of Indie Devs. And again, only if the deal is struck before the game is done. For any studio tied to a publisher, it's just money up front for the publisher.
Plus, I remember the stories some Devs told of how egs tried to strong-arm them into going exclusive. Didn't score them any bonus points in my book.
But as I said, everyone has they're own principles.
We agree in the most part, and I'm happy the dev they tried to strongarm had a spine and called them out. That put a stop to that pretty quick.
Any monopolist behavior is bad imho, but I can see room for limited exclusivity. But not copyright, 100 years after the authors death limited... 6 months maybe 12.. that's it.
I'm pretty much against exclusivity as a whole.
I'd prefer if corporations competed with better tech and services.
