If they want to seriously compete with Steam, then definitely yes. Exclusives are the only real way to compete in the gaming market, they have been proven to work time and again since the old Nintendo/SEGA days. Gamers are a market that primarily exists for gouging, which is a sad reality, but it IS a reality that cannot be avoided.
If they are happy with their current position in the market, then they should do more legacy titles and kill the overhead as much as possible, because there will be a ceiling to their growth.
Yeah, there's one major major difference between a console exclusive and a PC exclusive. Console exclusives are bought, developed and paid for by the company and are used to push consoles. These are typically first party releases and exclusively funded by gaming companies themselves. For example, Death Stranding is a PS4 exclusive because Sony gave Kojima a pallet of cash and said 'Go wild'. Its meant to push the system. Same with Bloodborne.
The difference is Epic is basically using shady, underhanded, anti-consumer practices to create a false sense of competition to a demonstrably inferior product. Epic's store is a fucking joke and has so many security holes and flaws in it. It runs malware and whoever the fuck knows what else from a foreign country. It has no features. Reviews will be opt in. Its 'developer' (IE: Publisher) friendly. You REALLY think Ubisoft putting all its games on Epic and UPlay will go to better games? You're a fucking idiot if you think so.
More content is more content, I don't see why this is a major problem.
The animation market has been thriving due to the influx of Netflix money, projects that wouldn't have been green lit are being green lit now. New people are seeing (and accepting) Anime as a respectable medium.
I just wanna ask, what was Crunchyroll's motive to provide better service when they had all the animus? None. They just had to keep the servers up.
Again, you're using a false comparison. Netflix bought, paid for and are directly developing these projects. It makes literal 0 sense for them to sell them elsewhere. They wouldn't have existed. These games existed, were funded and used Steam and GoG as advertising to build hype and then all of a sudden just go right to Epic. Epic had 0 investment in building these products. Netflix is involved at every level of production from these titles. It'd be like if Netflix spent all this money getting its subscribers hyped for a show and then when someone offered them a few million, they fucked their subscribers over and sold the show over to another, even worse service with less choices and more restrictions.
And you are seriously, seriously fucking delusional if you think this extra revenue is going anywhere bu the CEO's pockets. Anyone who thinks that Epic paying for exclusives is going to make better games is a fucking moron that hasn't been paying to the gaming industry in the last ten years. All of this money is going to go right to CEOs, shareholders and the like to increase dividends and stock value while keeping game development as cheap as possible.
I guarantee that promised 'Pheonix Point' exclusive DLC will be some cosmetic garbage and re-used assets for new 'missions', while the majority of the money is pocketed by the executives. Epic's entire strategy is to force people to use their store and hope that the free games make people buy other games. Its pushing as much money at the 'problem' as possible. Doing this means there is 0 incentive to make a better platform because you are effectively holding consumers hostage if you want to play certain titles.
