Maybe if your comment had a qualifier like "digital download version exclusive" it could be considered correct permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cottonmon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rose@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cottonmon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Does anyone know how to permalink a post on Lemmy? Anyway, here's what Snot said: Also, to be clear on the differences, Valve didn’t reach out offering to pay for a massively popular upcoming game, which is what Epic does as a business model. They had a company that was about to fail reach out to them, and they made an exclusivity deal with them, but Valve did not pay them for this deal. If you really fail to see the difference between those two things, I don’t know what to tell you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rose@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago Gamers and developers benefit from the developers being paid rather than not being paid for the same thing. permalink fedilink source parent
