Everyone benefits from the Epic vs Apple slapfights.
Playstation has exclusive games.
Nintendo has exclusive games.
Gamecube has exclusive games.
Epic has exclusive games. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I don't like exclusives either as it's obviously a marketting strategy working against consumers. But is anyone other than Epic accused of ''focring a monopoly''? You can even torrent Zelda games bundled with a Switch emulator if you don't want to encourage exclusives.
The more publishers put shit like DRM and exclusives, the more likely the games get ''creatively fixed'', torrented and ported on emulator.
You remember back in the PS3/360 gen when it was common for games to only be available or have content locked to only certain storefronts like Best Buy or Walmart?
Probably not because it was so widely hated it was literally bullied out of the industry and would be a better fit for your analogy, but then it would also reveal your stance is retarded and shortsighted.

The difference is that (for example) Nintendo exclusives are agreed on before hand in order to use the ip.
Epic flat out bribes people for exclusives, and everything about them is scummy.
So fuck epic, and fuck apple both.
This! Also some exclusives for Sony are slowly being put on pc. Epic is just buying their way in and I don't like it.
