"We think the decision to remove the game is unfair to Steam customers," the statement continues. The developer and publisher have assured us that all prior sales of the game on Steam will be fulfilled on Steam, and Steam owners will be able to access the game and any future updates or DLC through Steam."

"By teaming up with Epic we will be able to invest more into the future of Metro and our ongoing partnership with series developer 4A Games, to the benefit of our Metro fans."Īs of this writing Monday morning, Metro Exodus is still listed on Steam and available for preorder on the service, as it has been since August. That revenue-sharing system is "a game changer that will allow publishers to invest more into content creation, or pass on savings to the players," Kundratitz said. Ubisoft recently announced that The Division 2 will likewise only be available through the Epic Games Store, in addition to its own storefront.Further Reading Epic undercuts Steam with new store that gives devs more moneyDeep Silver CEO Klemens Kundratitz specifically cited "Epic’s generous revenue terms" in his reveal, which gives the game maker 88 percent of all revenue (compared to the industry-standard 70 percent on most other PC storefronts). Metro Exodus isn't the only big game skipping Steam entirely. Indeed, in the US, the PC version of Metro Exodus will retail for $50-$10 cheaper than the $60 price tag the game carried on Steam while it was still available. "Epic's generous revenue terms are a game changer that will allow publishers to invest more into content creation, or pass on savings to the players," Kundratitz said. According to Deep Silver CEO Klemens Kundratitz, Epic's more appealing revenue split-the storefront gives developers 88% of their revenue while Epic only takes 12%-was one of the deciding factors behind the move. Metro Exodus was available to pre-order on Steam before Deep Silver decided to bring it exclusively to the Epic Games Store, and while it is no longer available on Valve's storefront, any Steam pre-orders will still be honored. "I firmly believe that Deep Silver and Koch Media have carefully considered the advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and risks in their decision to go solely with Epic Games Store. "I believe it's in the group's, and ultimately the consumers', best interest that business decisions are made close to the market and this is the group's consistent business model," CEO Lars Wingefors said.
Now, THQ Nordice AB, which owns THQ Nordic GmbH, released a statement of its own supporting Deep Silver's decision. In a follow-up tweet, THQ Nordic GmbH said: "We do not want to categorically exclude the possibility of timed exclusives for any of our games in the future, but speaking in the here and now, we definitely want to have the players choose the platform of their liking and make our portfolio available to as many outlets as possible."
