Epic got so much bullshit for - reads annotation - making platform exclusives that were only temporary and helped developers with stable financing with better terms.
There were no clauses saying you couldn’t release on mac/linux/ps/xbox/switch
They just only carry games for the Windows platform. They did buy EAC and make a Linux version as well as gave all devs the ability to implement crossplay regardless of engine
Beyond a bit of annoyance about Borderlands 3 being temporarily exclusive, I think the only thing I minded about Epic Games Store was a lack of user reviews, but there’s the metacritic embed now so I’m not sure was the issue should be.
