There haven't been many Epic Store exclusivity announcements recently, which got me wondering if Epic might be winding down that part of its strategy. Nope. According to Epic, the opposite is the case.
"We have more exclusives coming in the next two years than we have published to date," a company representative told PC Gamer when asked about its exclusivity strategy for the near future.
There goes my theory.

Oh no, I need to use two launchers on the same device, instead of multiple different devices.

The inconvenience!!!

They seriuosuly keep doubling down on only focusing on timed exclusives despite the fact EGS barely grew in 2020 while all other big storefronts like Steam grew by large numbers. It frankly amazes me how they don't even have basic things that were on websites 20 years ago.

EGS gave me Blair Witch and Ghostbusters Remastered for free.

They're no Steam, but they're alright.

Controversial opinion: I don't mind Epic. Yes, they have a ways to go in terms of features (shopping carts, profiles, cheevos, etc..), but they do have amazing deals all the time. On top of the free games they give out on a weekly basis, there's also the '-$10 off' coupons that they hand out every sale. Was personally able to grab Journey to the Savage Planet for $5 during their last one thanks to it (as well as Griftlands for $5, which came with a bonus steam key)

I'll continue to redeem their weekly free games and not purchase any games from them. I never buy full price games so they can enjoy their stupid year long exclusivity on games all they want

They make so much money off of CS: GO and Dota and TF2 I don't think they really give a shit about anything else.

Did you really just ask why anyone needs a basic function of any online store? I really hope that's sarcasm.

If they did something as lame as paying for exclusives, they would absolutely deserve hate for it.

Like when everyone shit on them for trying to sell mods. Bringing that up doesn't fit the egs simp's naritive though.
