> As most PC gamers know by now, the Epic Games Store has been signing exclusives to its digital distribution platform. Unfortunately, some of these games already had Steam Store pages, creating the expectation for some that it would be launching on that service in the near future. Now, some reportedly recent Steam TOS changes may very well halt this practice entirely.
- If you put up a Steam Store page, you can’t release the game earlier on another platform.
- Any patches/updates must be released for Steam at the same time as they are on other platforms.
- Games can be released on other platforms, but you can’t put up a Steam store page until 30 days before the Steam release or the game’s original release, depending on which of the two is earlier.
Huh? I thought saying you can't sell on Steam is kind of what an exclusivity contract with Epic does.
