With now 1-2 new exclusiv games announced, i wonder why devs still do that?

You can like or dislike epic, but the matter of the fact is, nearly no one wants the Store / Launcher.

Is there a "one in a thousand" success story for a game beeing exclusiv there and not on Steam or GoG? i never heard of one. and tbh, most of the time i never hear of a game after its exclusive on Epic after its announcement anyway anymore.

The only "exception" was Satisfactory for me and people i know, we wanted to support the game so we bought on Epic, but switched to Steam / bought it there again not even a hour after it was available there. everybody i know did or only bought it then because they didnt wanted to buy it on Epic.

Its also one of the multiple cases of a game making more sales in a few hours on steam then the months / years it was on epic.

Is it really worth the money epic gives the devs? that no one will play or remember the game? was any dev ever suprised how well it sold on epic?
