Personally, as a customer, not a developer, this is disappointing to me, as there’s still no reason for me to shop on Epic when they don’t support my operating system, so this is likely just going to entice more developers to make me wait 6 months to play their games. Nonetheless, it’s gaming news.
My experience of Epic exclusives is that most become things that are never on my radar again, even after the exclusive period.
I take it from this increase in rates that I’m far from alone in that regard.
All signs point to that program being a failure for them, which is why the exclusivity offers and announcements started drying up, but I guess this is them trying a revised strategy.
