For all the ruckus they caused as well as the accusations of 'stealing' games from the Steam storefront, exclusivity deals haven't hurt Epic Games.
Two 3DO games recently reissued by Limited Run Games, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties and D, appear to have a major problem, according to customers.
D was a great, atmospheric horror game. It was worth the rental back in the day. Also, Limited Run Games sucks.
LRG are just glorified overpriced reproductions.... and now they can't even get that last part right. I make better repros using my own stack of CD-R.
Just don’t. 3DO games were the worst. Imagine paying premium prices for a dog-crap version of a game. The era of barely trying or understanding their own tech and charging asinine prices… 3DN0. It’s best that you don’t admit that you had one of these.
Limited Run Games makes me sick. The prices they ask are ridiculous and then the whole burning discs instead of pressing them is pretty disgusting. This is a company that takes their customers for a ride and demands extortion level prices for a product, like we’re talking 2x to 3x more than MSRP.

As part of previously-announced layoffs, Take-Two Interactive is closing Intercept Games and Roll7.
I loved Rollerdrome and was looking forward to a Rollerdrome 2. 😐
Don't want to be melodramatic but as far you can be upset over video-game news ... bit heartbroken.
I feel like there's a trend of well made games like this going largely ignored by the gaming audience. It's quite frustrating. I hope the devs form a new studio but I suppose they'd have to start again from scratch.
Olliolli 2, olliolli world and rollerdrome are some of my favorite indies of all time. This industry is disgusting lately.
I loved Olli Olli.
I wanted to like Rollerdrome a lot more than I actually did. Shame about the studio though

It is a nice supposition but quite impossible to prove.
Amazing what Fortnite cash and Chinese investment does for your bottom line. But sure, let's assume it's all EGS even though they have to be losing money with the constant free games.
Epic games has been amazing for gamers currently running through just cause 4 which I got for free
This doesn't prove anything. Would there have been higher growth, and more sales had, had the game been available on multiple storefronts? Likely yes but, obviously, the data isn't there.
Making that sort of statement is like "hey look! We released a long awaited sequel to a very popular title in the year 2020, where there are even more gamers, both PC and console. We're doing better than ever after release, so, obviously, being EPIC exclusive had no negative effects on growth and sales".
