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.

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 have a backlog of great games to play so long that I'm seeing remasters of some games on the list come out before I've played them a first time. I have no problem waiting for games to come to a different platform and go on sale.

I guess, Epic Games sales cuts seems attractive for multiplatform games with microtransaction made with Unreal Engine...

An exclusive on Epic Games may as well just not even exist, as far as I'm concerned. Didn't play Anno 1800 until it was finally released on Steam. Nice discount too.

I hate when companies inconvenience me while trying to disrupt a near-monopoly by my benign benefactors.
