Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy… and then it’s only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can’t it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It’s so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic… which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

    They lose day 1 hype, tho. Sure, the game eventually comes to steam, but that’s after it’s already been overplayed on twitch and YouTube’d to death.

      In what way does that matter outside of driving sales? Which people like op happily still gave them?

          If that was actually a concern, why would companies do it at all?

            Why do companies do exclusive launches? Presumably they think the money they get from Epic is more than the money they’ll lose in sales. Whether or not they’re right is another question.

              Congrats on getting the point.

                  Not my intention on your comment. More so commenting everyone else’s reaction to my comments pointing to the same thing.

                    They indicate how much of an ass you come across as.

                    There are tons of people in this world who are right, yet everyone dislikes and doesn’t interact with. Something to think about some day, when you calm down.

                    Good indication of how out of touch or plain posting in the wrong instance

                    I mean most people would look at it as an indication that their point isn’t landing. You can just power through and be a jerk though.
