If anyone might be interested: Yes, concerning stores World of Goo 2 will be Epic exclusive for a while most likely because Epic was a major investor while developing the game. On the other hand 2DBoy gets 100% of all Epic Store profit during a limited period. If you are not happy about that you can get it DRM free from the website or wait for the inevitable Steam launch. Hope this helps :)

> wait for the inevitable Steam launch

I pick that one.

Happy that they went with Epic. Steam needs more legit competition.

Competition implies that both offer the same service. If the product is not available in both stores they are not competing.

There's also tons of stuff only on Steam, so...

What games have exclusive contracts with Valve, other than those published by Valve?

Or you could buy it directly off the world of goo website, DRM free.

And in fact you can buy a DRM-free version right on their website, with no obligation to use any store - neither Steam nor Epic.

What games does Valve fund the development of? (And then let developers keep 100% of the profit?)
