Not lazy, greedy. The epic exclusivity just expired.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since when is the exclusivity 3 years???

I think it depends on the game/publisher/contract/... ? Eurogamer says:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 coming to Steam after three years Epic exclusivity

But maybe it was a de facto exclusivity and not a contractually-enforced one?

Yeah, exclusivity in this context could mean either. Why must some languages be so fuzzy.
