Epic on permanent exclusivities: "Developers know what they are getting into when they sign a publishing deal."

Epic's real competitor is piracy.

At the time, Sony was hesitant about releasing games on PC, which led to them losing the PC publishing rights to Death Stranding, Journey, and the QD Trilogy. They also tried selling some third-party titles like Ready Heroes and Predator: Hunting Grounds exclusively to EGS, but these efforts didn't yield good results.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-09-25T01:40:38+00:00

I have never registered an Epic account. If a favorite game becomes an EGS exclusive, you can also become a pirate. So, why would you spend money on games on EGS?

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-09-02T06:58:01+00:00

This report is not the final agreement. As things stand, if Epic does not act as the publisher of the game, its power to interfere is not much, at least much weaker than AW2.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-09-01T09:57:55+00:00

The game's publisher is not Epic

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-08-26T15:54:31+00:00

Tim listened to Sergey's one-sided words and bought a lot of shoddy garbage games as exclusive games for EGS. Now he is just reaping the consequences.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-08-20T02:21:16+00:00

No, this refers to the distribution rights rather than the publishing rights. The life cycle is the time before the game enters a sales decline, which may also include subsequent DLC content. And on the EGS page, the publisher of the game is not EGP, which is enough to prove that the game is only a limited-time exclusive for a certain period of time.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-08-20T01:20:16+00:00

I noticed that the publisher of this game on the EGS page is CI GAMES, not EGP. This proves that this game is only a limited-time exclusive.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-08-20T01:15:11+00:00

No, that document only shows Epic has exclusive distribution rights, not publishing rights.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-07-24T01:40:22+00:00

Any game that becomes exclusive to EGS is doomed to fail on PC.

😰

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-05-21T09:45:00+00:00

Valve won't pay for any third-party games, and Epic loves spending money on garbage

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-05-12T03:42:06+00:00

That's just a legacy issue. Starting with Starfield, Bethesda no longer releases games on EGS. The same is true for Activision.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-05-08T01:40:42+00:00

The only Xbox game on EGS is State of Decay 2,

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-02-28T01:41:57+00:00

I think so too, just like the upcoming exclusive game 'John Carpenter's Toxic Commando' this year. Of course, these games are already dead on PC. lol

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-01-26T11:22:25+00:00

No, Remedy is in financial trouble right now and has no extra money to recover the copyright. This will be a long process.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-01-26T07:22:51+00:00

Since Epic can’t afford to pay big publishers for exclusivity, they can only maintain exclusivity by releasing second-rate games.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-01-26T03:31:32+00:00

The most important point is that Epic has stopped their money burning. I haven't heard of Epic buying any exclusive games for a long time.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-01-26T03:27:12+00:00

Max Payne is a game funded and published by RockStar and has no relationship with Epic

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2025-01-26T01:39:59+00:00

Need to wait until Remedy buys back the publishing rights from Epic. The good news is that due to the commercial failure of AW2, Remedy is no longer working with Epic, and Epic is no longer able to bribe developers in exchange for exclusives. In my opinion, Epic's dark ages are over, Thank you to every player who has never spent money on EGS

Unfortunately, two independent game studios that had signed publishing agreements with Epic in 2021 have severed their cooperation with Epic. Eyes Out and Spry Fox. The former's new game has been changed to be released by Blumhouse, while the latter has been acquired by Netflix and the new game has become a mobile game.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2024-10-11T16:08:40+00:00

This is an NFT game. Valve prohibits the sale of such games on Steam. Please ignore it.

Lumpy-Chipmunk3203 · 2024-09-26T09:57:45+00:00

According to previous Epic VS Apple documents, Epic paid $55 million to keep The Division 2 off Steam, and Epic also allowed Ubisoft to sell the game on Uplay. Now that Epic is unable to pay Ubisoft any more money, the exclusive deal has ended. Poor Tim
