MODERATORS
I do get your point, I'd rather have an exclusive game than no game at all, but that isn't what's happening with Epic exclusives a lot of the time. Most of the time they just buy exclusive rights to games that were going to come to PC anyway, sometimes right before release date.
It's still the devs that agree to it in exchange for guaranteed income instead of releasing at large and hoping for success, Epic is just playing the game... Heck, in my mind it's the devs that should take the flak in this situation!
They've also confirmed they wouldn't do it for games where the devs promised to release on other launchers after the backlash with one of the games they bought exclusivity rights to.
