re: this article.

The title is a joke. “Free, but you have to make an EGS account” is a bit too rich for me.

    You point out that the game wouldn’t exist without exclusivity but then immediately point out that it totally could exist if the profit motive did not run our economy.

    The existence of exclusives is a form of cultural capture by capitalists (As is copyright). I would argue that it would indeed be better if Alan Wake 2 was never made if it meant that exclusives stopped being made entirely, and Alan Wake 2 looks like a game I absolutely want to play.
