Developer Glumberland has announced the PC version of Ooblets will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store.

The game will be released exclusively via the Epic Store, alongside its Xbox One release.

In their new blog post, Glumberland talked up why they want exclusive to Epic, for a time:

Because Epic doesn’t yet have the same market share as their competitors, they offered us a minimum guarantee on sales that would match what we’d be wanting to earn if we were just selling Ooblets across all the stores. That takes a huge burden of uncertainty off of us because now we know that no matter what, the game won’t fail and we won’t be forced to move back in with our parents (but we do love and appreciate you, parents!).

Now we can just focus on making the game without worrying about keeping the lights on. The upfront money they’re providing means we’ll be able to afford more help and resources to start ramping up production and doing some cooler things.

The studio noted they’re aware of “the backlash that’s been hitting games that sign with Epic,” but that they don’t expect that kind of response from their community.
