Some interesting industry news for you here. Epic Games have announced a change to the revenue model of the Epic Games Store, as they try to pull in more developers and more gamers to actually purchase things.
Yes, that’s what exclusive access to games mean. You can’t buy them from other stores because Epic is actively preventing the developers from doing so.
So we can’t complain about Valve’s 30% cut, then? Because its a legal agreement that game companies willingly enter into, is it not? What about game companies overworking their developers? It’s all dandy because the devs willingly agreed when they enter into the employment?
You’re also forgetting about games that Epic pulled from other stores after buying the company making them. That’s even shittier than releasing games exclusively on Epic.
So you want to give steam exclusive access to your money because epic wants it? Genius move, really. This won’t go badly for you in the next decade.
Yes, because they still allow you to spend your money elsewhere if a new storefront appears on the market. Epic is actively preventing that.

I mentioned two stores in my comment, what exclusive access to money are you talking about?
