We are happy to announce that Shenmue III for PC will be will be an Epic Games Store exclusive. Development for Shenmue III has been moving forward using Unreal Engine and the support we have received from Epic has been excellent. But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option. *For inquiries regarding the General Sales such as Epic Games Store exclusive or Pre-Order, please see our FAQ page. For other inquiries please visit Deep Silver customer support.

I mean, I know they can't come right out and just say, "hey, Epic is throwing us a giant wad of cash to become Epic Exclusive," but this quote is just so bad:

But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option.

Yeah, definitely the best. Nearly completely deprived of all user features that Steam and other platforms have had for over a decade. Totally the best experience for the users.

Maybe Steam should reduce the cut they take from game producers.

30% vs 12%

No one in their right mind would take an 18% cut just for the hell of it.

The day that publishers stop charging the same rate for a digital game as they do a physical game, I'll care about their bottom line a little.

Agreed, but that is beside the point.

If Steam wants to have access to games, they should offer better incentives.

If Steam users want access to games through Steam, they need to find a way to express their opinions/stances that Steam is losing out and needs to change.

These producers know that people will buy their games no matter what. They know people will use Epic to play their games.

Epic isn’t the one people should be upset with, it is Steam.

No shite.

Everyone is angry at Epic, but Steam is the problem.

That’s an 18% difference in what they bring in.

Only an idiot would say no to that.
