Most of this sounds more than fair for EPIC to be doing. They are getting serious about being competitors to Steam.
The only odd thing that struck me was Remedy signing exclusives....
Didn't they finally get away from that Microsoft deal of exclusives they signed & was saying how great it was to be free ,...and all that jazz . Then they go and immediately sign another exclusive deal with someone else.
Weird bunch over at Remedy. * Exclusive addicts , methinks *
