Still i will take it even if the small % of game(s) will be paid by Epic (essentially it will be paid by parents of all fortnite kids/teens). Btw I'm not sure if the money offered for being an exclusive is enough to compensate the sale that it would make on steam. Even blizzard is moving to steam at this point.
Hasn't Epic mostly stopped the exclusivity program? I think a couple publishers like Deep Silver still do timed Epic exclusivity, but I don't remember them making any new deals in a long time
I think they're funding games now so that there's less backlash to exclusivity.
Star Trek Resurgence is a recent Epic exclusive but you're right they're not too common thankfully.
