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.
Anything but not play those certain games?
Just don't use "Epic" man.
I'm sure World of Goo 2 will come to Steam someday. I can wait.
Fewer companies are falling for the Epic swindle, which is why Epic is now full on publishing games now.
Which game?
I tried GTA5 when I made an account there. The game was given free. Didn't play for long though, and I dislike the idea of having more than Steam. (I have GOG for Sims but I don't use that either)
I tried Rocket League at work. It is fun and I'd like to continue at home...but opening up that Epic Store kinda is a turn-off for the deal.
Steam, Epic, GOG, it’s all the same to me. I’m not gonna fanboy over one platform and miss out on a game. That’s just ridiculous.
I get it being annoying... But why is it such a deal breaker? If the game is good, why not just install it, play the game, leave it when you're done?
The other storefronts have some cool features (namely gamepass for xbox and all of steamworks and the app stuff for steam), but it doesn't really matter if the game doesn't use em.
Check gog.com for it
I can't think of any examples of the top of my head, but aren't there some games that should have thrived but we're heals back by launching as Epic exclusives?
I hate when companies inconvenience me while trying to disrupt a near-monopoly by my benign benefactors.
