Has that policy changed? Was it just a convenient way to tell her off because they don't think SkateBIRD passes their bar for curation? That hasn't stopped them in the past, and Sweeney sounded pretty adamant that they would continue that approach for the foreseeable future. Something I did find interesting about this was their point on refusing due to promises of Steam keys in the Kickstarter. She's taking it well though, and SkateBIRD is looking to do decently! So, I'm glad that she won't be negatively affected by Epic's refusal to even allow the game on their store. Frustratingly, she's been shown directly by Epic that they aren't exactly interested in helping the actual small developer through the EGS nearly as much as they say they are. Megan is good people, she's been outspoken against many of Steam's shortcomings as well as been positive towards EGS in the past. They do not tie Grants to exclusivity for eligibility, as the teams handling them are separate and have their own defined criteria. Epic Grants is a no-strings-attached, separate program that is actually super wonderful and a part of Epic that I think is an overall good for the dev scene. If it says they're focusing on exclusives, then that is a direct response to an inquiry about being on the storefront.

If they're gonna keep doing what they're doing then they're not welcomed by most of the PC consumers doing the business they way they're doing in this ecosystem. i really do and thats what i had hoped when EGS was first announced but their way of doing business is disgusting, vile and abysmal. I personally do not mind any new platform taking on steam because i really want some competition for steam. Due to epic's intervention and ill intent, it has clearly caused a huge deal of distrust in the consumers who might want to back/kickstart projects in the future. Thanks to them buying out kickstarted titles, they've largely hampered the 'kickstarter concept' because one of the main pillers of it is trust.

Push out a shitty, barebones launcher/storefront that doesn't even offer half the features the market leader is offering.

Buying out competition and forcing only one or two choices on the consumer of third party titles.

The consumers see this and don't want it to happen because right now PC gaming is in its golden age and steps taken by epic clearly undermine in it and threaten it to end. Exclusivity, bad consumer experience won't bring any profit to themselves or to the ecosystem they're trying to supposedly compete in. claiming to help the developers but underneath their thinking is screaming that they only want to forcefully through any scummy means take over the market leader. It paid dividends in the long run and they keep sticking to the same formula more or less what epic is doing is the opposite. PC gaming has become successful and a lot more profitable again because Steam introduced the right trends and focused on a better experience for the consumers. Its pretty damn unhealthy to forcefully disrupt an ecosystem negatively and introducing trends in it that cause the customers in it to use other avenue's in order to acquire the game that might not beneficial to that ecosystem.
