I’m sure Epic loves that this info came out.

I'm willing to forgive Epic their exclusivity deals since it's pretty clear they are bringing games to the PC that may otherwise have never received ports like Tetris Effect and the Quantic Dream games.

I imagine the community response in general would be dramatically different if they focused solely on that, which would be a value-add no other company is even attempting. Instead, that just seems like a side effect.

QD isn't a huge company so that had to be a fairly good chunk of the development cost of the game.

Did anyone want the QD games

This payment alone is apparently enough to cover almost half of the development costs.
