That's not surprising at all, I will be interested to see how much it impacts sales.

It can be on both EGS and Steam .. doesn't say anywhere that it's exclusive.

Not sure why people are getting so uppity about this.

edit: also that tweet has been deleted.

    Official Staff Communication
    Given the volatility in recent Epic Game Store related threads we have decided that some clearer guidelines are required to cultivate healthier discussion.
    • Do not enter these threads in bad faith. If we conclude that your goal is to misrepresent the concerns of other users or rile people up, you will be moderated. Intent matters here. Honest questions or commentary about the differences and similarities between the Epic Games Store and other storefronts are fine. Deliberately and dismissively attempting to troll concerned members on those topics is not okay. These discussions must be held in good faith and in a civil manner.
    • As a reminder, antagonizing or engaging in personal attacks on other members is still against the rules. We have a large community with a wide range of preferences and personal priorities. Not everyone will feel the same way as you do on any given topic. If you feel a post is breaking a rule please report it and do not respond with hostility. If you choose to engage do so politely. We always check to see which users have a history of trouble in this area.
    • It is perfectly acceptable to want to wait for a game to be released on the storefront of your preference (ex: "I'll just wait for the Steam release.") It is not acceptable to troll threads because of storefront exclusivity timed or otherwise (ex: "So the real PC release is going to be a year later.") The latter is needlessly inflammatory and distracts from discussion. We will be scrutinizing these posts more closely going forward.
    • Do not advocate, defend, or admit to piracy under any circumstances. This is explicitly against our Terms of Service. There are no justifications that will make this acceptable.
    Addendum: It's fine and often healthy to be critical of media coverage (ex: "I don't think this article is good and here's why"), but please avoid going down any rabbit holes with excessive vitriol and conspiracy theories (ex: "This outlet is clearly paid off because I don't agree with their coverage"). We've long had a general policy against hyperbolical vilification of the media and that rule has not been suspended.

    There's a difference between releasing on EGS, which is perfectly fine, and releasing exclusively on the EGS.

    No indication of Steam yet, guess we'll have to wait till Thursday unless they confirm it before but I'm not holding my breath.

    Still though, no surprises on this front.

    Hope it's not exclusive. I'd like to spend my steam wallet money on this.

    Considering Randy Pitchford's words on the Epic Games Store and being published by 2K, I wouldn't be surprised if it was exclusive.

    That, and it seems like exclusivity deals are the number one way a game ends up on that store anyhow.

    wow that one is gonna shake the PC industry quite a lot

    EDIT: could just be an EGS specific ad though, now that I think of it. It'd be weird to not mention consoles as well.

    I imagine most big games will be on the epic store, also it's running on unreal 4 so I think they got a good deal out of it.

    Ads doesn't label it as exclusive, but the lack of others stores on the materials is really gonna worry some folks.

    I think it's because Epic was the only logo listed and Randy had some tweets where he asks what's wrong with exclusivity in a thread about EGS.
