Some interesting industry news for you here. Epic Games have announced a change to the revenue model of the Epic Games Store, as they try to pull in more developers and more gamers to actually purchase things.
This is such a weird straw man argument. Yes those are all anticompetitve that they FORCE them not to release the game for other platforms.
Valve buying all the modding properties? What does this refer to? Also valve released their games on consoles too, I remember fondly playing the orange box (which BTW was like 5 games in one a fantastic value).
People did complain about console exclusives back then too, it wasn’t as common because before it was understandable as it was prohibitively expensive or time consuming to port to other consoles, that’s virtually not the case anymore (except Nintendo because their consoles always suck) and now it’s just exclusive for exclusives sake.
