How is that not a walled garden?

- meheleventyone 6y agoI think most if not all are time limited exclusives.
- fenomas 6y ago> How is that not a walled garden? Huh? When people talk about iOS being a walled garden they're referring to the fact that iOS apps can only be bought and sold via Apple. Consumers on that platform have no alternatives, and if Apple doesn't want a given app sold then it can't be bought. EGS exclusives are nothing like that - anybody can sell PC games any way they like. If some particular developer chooses to sell their game via EGS and not other stores, that's up to the developer. It's not a walled garden if people can enter and exit any time they like.
