I don't know what it costs Epic to grab all these "exclusives", and I know lots of people (myself included) who just wait and get whatever it is on Steam anyway. It can't cost nothing, and it doesn't seem to be terribly good business.

Likewise, devs must make something when Epic offers a game for free (I think?).

It does seem to me like a deep-pockets game, and I'm not sure how deep Epic's are anymore.

Honestly they'll have money as long as people keep playing fortnite, kids are throwing stupid money at skins and shit.
