https://www.pcgamer.com/thq-nordic-isnt-ruling-out-more-timed-exclusives-like-metro-exodus/ > As Epic attempts to carve out a digital retail kingdom, we’re probably going to see more Epic Games Store timed exclusives like Metro Exodus and The Division 2. THQ Nordic, which acquired Koch Media and Metro publisher Deep Silver in 2018, says the decision to sell the post-apocalyptic shooter exclusively on Epic’s platform was Koch Media’s, but it isn’t completely ruling out similar deals for other games.  > Despite the acquisition last year, Koch Media is still separate from THQ Nordic and controls the Metro IP, which it acquired from the original THQ, along with the likes of Saints Row. This family tree gets more confusing every year. THQ Nordic said it had no comments to make about the deal, but did briefly clarify its position on timed exclusives in general.
