Otaliga både större och mindre utvecklare/utgivare hat börjat släppa sina spel exklusivt till Epic Game Store, och många prisar det faktum att de får behålla mer av pengarna för denna försäljning jämfört med om de sålt via Steam där Valve istället tar en större del av kakan. Men räkna inte med att några Bandai Namco-spel blir Epic Games Store-exklusiva.
I en intervju hos MCV säger Bandai Namcos kommunikationschef Hervé Hoerdt såhär om saken:
"We cannot do everything and Japanese [companies] are not risk averse but we're going slowly. So we have a full platform strategy. The main focus for us is the consumer and the brand. And for each brand we decide what's the best way to satisfy the consumer and to engage the widest audience possible. So for instance, I don't see any point of putting Tekken 7 on Epic Store. Epic is just another store. It's fantastic, they have a lot of strength and [lots of] users, the business model is attractive to us because it's more profitable but still, their interest is, if I'm correct, exclusivity. And this is not our vision. We want our content to be available for as many fans as possible. I don't think we'll deal with Epic in the short term, while we have this strategy. But of course, if they're open, we'll go there."
Resonerar Bandai Namco rätt, tycker du?
