Epic Exclusive

[[SF]Lone_Walker]

Please don't make this game exclusive, it's only a matter of time until Epic contact the devs to put this game in their store...
I want to play Spongebob on steam ;(

i imagine there'd be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of backlash if they did end up making this an epic store exclusive, so i rather doubt they would do that

Chances are very high since the main target audience are kids

why would it be made an epic exclusive if it's already up on steam?

Because many games goes full epic even tho they were still being sold on steam
-Metro Exodus
-The Walking Dead Season 4
-Control
-Ancestors The Humankind Odyssey
-The Outer Worlds

They can make this available on Epic Store without exclusivity.
BAM! Multiple ways to buy a game from a launcher of your choosing!

Funny that Metro Exodus gets name dropped here, cause Nordic owns Deep Silver and thus experienced first-hand how the move of putting a game already on Steam on EGS instead and disabling sales for the former shortly afterward.

The result, implicated by sales data from an investors meeting, is that people rushed to Steam to buy it before purchasing was shut down (Pre-Order numbers) and then very little was sold on EGS (Post-Release numbers).

I doubt they'll make an exclusivity deal for the second time, all things considered.

Even "Trover Saves the Universe" did that.

Case in point.
Even Darksiders III, another game published by THQNordic.

As long as they sell them in all stores being fair to buyers then I couldnt care less.

Exactly. Put it on as many platforms as possible so there's choice. My choice just happens to be Steam ;)

With poor pc sales from the whole metro debacle i doubt they want to be apart of epic again

Epic is very likely going to offer them an exclusive deal though, the game appeals to Fortnite kids. It really depends on whether THQ Nordic believes in the IP, or whether they want the money.

Exclusive Fortnite x Spongebob crossover?

Also i like how Epic Games is not at all that Epic
