Comments on the Verge point out that Epic Store exclusives have mostly stopped because (indie) developers have said that sales on the Epic Store represent such a small portion of overall PC games sales that the it wasn't worth it to be exclusive on Epic without significantly higher guaranteed payments than Epic was willing to provide. One of the comments by an indie developer claimed they sold less through the Epic store than they did through the Microsoft Store. This makes the offer a non-starter for developers, since the additional 12% of revenue they would get for being exclusive isn't enough to make up for the 80-90% of potential revenue they would lose during the 6-months of exclusivity.
