Exclusives are not paying publishers to remove games from platforms. Those are two completely different things.
If you do not understand that simple fact, you probably shouldnt be wading into this discussion.
Yes, they are. That's what exclusive means.
Only being on one platform because no other platform makes business sense is not an exclusive. An exclusive means an exclusivity contract.
But even if you lie and pretend your version is an "exclusive", it absolutely is not "steam playing the exclusive game", because that unconditionally would require steam actively incentivizing staying off of other platforms.
Don't bother, this guy is just a troll. Look at all his other responses lmao.
Did you call me a troll because I caught you out calling free things anti consumer?
If Im the troll, why did you delete your comment? Dick move dude
