Sad to hear you all decided to sell your souls and partner with DS. Hope the Fortnite money is/was worth it. You really should be aware for the future, and make sure that DS is aware, what this whole Shenmue debacle has done to tarnish the already less-than-stellar reputation crowdfunding campaigns have.

Yeah the Shenmue situation is not good, but not all DS games go to EGS.
Important to shut down EPIC/DS shenanigans;

if i would be valve i just wouldn't let you generate keys anymore for devs/publishers who don't sell their game on steam itself.
Generating and marketing steam keys to pre-orders/KS and then go Epic exclusive post-launch is FUBAR.
Gabe Newell needs to get into the Arena and realize this is not 'fair' EPIC competition but a fight to the death who will dominate third party content.

They're buying customers.
There's an anxiety about Epic because what they're doing is aggressive. They don't want to be competition, they want to be the last man standing and be the defacto monopoly. That's the end goal, drive Valve out of business and reap the benefits.
