How does he keep convincing gaming studios to voluntarily commit suicide by making their games exclusive to EGS?

Steam isn't a viable platform anymore and it's impossible for anyone to find your game in the endless sea of anime porn slop. Not to mention that Valve takes 30% of the profits, unlike Epic.

Cause steam isnt as big as the drones make it seem, most sales are on consoles

The money is so good that, as an indie, you'll break even from development costs just by making it exclusive. It'd be dumb to pass up on that opportunity

Money and empty promises.
Timmy is retarded enough to think people will spend money on his dogshit platform if he gives away free games. People are claiming the free games but buying on Steam.
Their userbase has increased massively, but it doesn't matter when your users aren't spending a penny.

This.

If taking the Epic deal pays for your development costs, then it's stupid not to take it, then have all the sales on Epic, then later Steam be pure profit.
If you have a console release as well, then the Epic deal is less of a no-brainer.

When was the last big game he convinced to be EGS exclusive? Hell when was the last small game? I honestly haven't heard of any.

Isn’t China the biggest user base on Steam nowadays?

Borderlands 3. It doesn't happen anymore because companies scammed Epic and treated the one year exclusivity deal as a pre release

Yeah, and Tencent are fucking livid.

That's shortsighted. You need people to actually play your game if you want to build your brand and have your next game be successful.

Imagine saying this when nothing sells on EGS

He gives hard money, Gaben gives - 30% from 250-500k sold copies in the best case. If you don't see autistic/streamer slop you are doomed with a new ip on steam

because game studios are retarded, he speaks their native language, retardanese
