Years have passed since Epic Games entered the digital stores market and introduced its own store for the PC platform, and during the first years it relied on a policy of signing exclusivity contracts for third-party game releases for its platform.
Recently, the pace of these exclusives has decreased significantly, and Tim Sweeney from Epic, through a new interview, indicated that many of the exclusive contracts for the Epic Store were not a successful investment. Since the introduction of the free games program, things have improved a lot for the store, and he sees it as a magical effect, according to his description.
