Does anyone know how to permalink a post on Lemmy? Anyway, here's what Snot said:

Also, to be clear on the differences, Valve didn’t reach out offering to pay for a massively popular upcoming game, which is what Epic does as a business model. They had a company that was about to fail reach out to them, and they made an exclusivity deal with them, but Valve did not pay them for this deal. If you really fail to see the difference between those two things, I don’t know what to tell you.

Gamers and developers benefit from the developers being paid rather than not being paid for the same thing.
