What are the examples where that happened?
They rarely buy game companies. With Psyonix they are making Rocket League free to play and won't be able to download it on Steam, but will still be on a bunch of platforms.
- nottorp 6y agoNot sure about buying established companies, but they bribed quite a few succesful kickstarter projects to go Epic exclusive for at least a year, including one I backed and had high hopes for.
- notamy 6y agoRocket League; if I remember correctly the Linux support was dropped and it was intended to no longer be on Steam. Unsure where it stands now as it's been a while since I actively followed that game.
- justwalt 6y agoIt will be playable but not purchasable on Steam starting on the 31st of this month.
