Oculus and Epic Games: The Morality of Software Exclusivity (EGX 2019 Panel)

Oculus and Epic Games: The Morality of Software Exclusivity (EGX 2019 Panel)

Though 'Hardware Exclusivity' for the likes of PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox are commonplace, this decade has introduced 'Software Exclusivity'. With storefronts like Steam, GOG, Uplay and Origin, PC games are split across multiple "launchers" and perhaps none have been more controversial than Epic Games' Store. VR players are even experiencing the same phenomenon with Oculus' walled-off garden, and people are starting to take notice. So we've assembled a panel of gamers and game developers for an impartial, in-depth discussion on software exclusivity, the pros, cons and everything in-between.
