(Console exclusive means it's coming to Switch + PC, but not on other consoles on release)

That seems like a questionable move tbh

It's no different from Hades 1. It was exclusive to PC and Switch at launch, then released for other consoles 11 months later. If it worked out for that game, I don't see why it wouldn't for this one.

The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.

Every character in the first game is hot. Every character in the second game is also hot.

Then there's Dionysus.

I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer 'questionable' for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

I'd imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.

Hades 2 is only console exclusive to the Switch 2; it's also releasing on Steam.

Ah, yeah I didnt gleam that from reading the word console a million times in the article. Thank you. It makes sense now. Nintendo money + Steam sales.
