So... anybody else have to read that title a second time because they missed a letter?

4!? Since when was there a Jurassic World 2 and 3? Did they not do any promotions of them or something or do I live under a rock?

Exactly. Win customers over by providing a better experience that makes people want to use your platform over a competitor, not because they're forced to

That's not a money reason or a store related reason. That's really on the developer. Mac is a different architecture. Often times Mac versions require extra development.

Linux is gaining more ground not because of a store or the developers themselves, but because Proton makes the windows versions of games run on Linux.

My argument was about exclusivity deals, not technical compatibility.

Yes, I do realize the money goes to the same place. My argument is not that Epic should go bankrupt. My argument is that I don't want to encourage or support the Epic Store.

"vote with your wallet" - my vote says I approve of unreal but disapprove of epic store.

Okay?

2 wrongs don't make a right. That said, Microsoft does this much less frequently than Epic and mostly just with first party games.

Here's a list of Microsoft Store exclusives. I don't see a whole lot of triple A games on there.

Starfield was on Steam at launch, as was Halo Infinite. Microsoft has been moving away from exclusivity. But how dare they keep Solitaire all to themselves, right?

I meant I don't want to give the Epic Store a dime.

Yep. Heard great things about the game, but I'm waiting till it's on steam to get it. I refuse to give Epic a dime. Exclusivity deals hurt consumers.

I really hope that was a typo and they meant AND a payment of $15k because someone who posted $200k bail shouldn't have a problem finding $15k to get out of a murder charge.

Kinda looks like an Ood from Doctor Who
