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.

Give it a year, Epic Games Stores exclusivity always runs out eventually.

Man, i kinda hate the epic games launcher, it is really crap; but for me games being on epic is not problem, i just use heroic instead, it's MUCH faster than epic's slop; what i don't like is games that for some reason just refuse to work on heroic despite EOS being installed

I haven't created an epic account even for the free games I don't care how many awesome games they give out for free. Fuck Epic

I use both Epic and Steam. That’s it. I understand your sentiment though.

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?

~~Metro Exodus was like 5 bucks just a few months after launch. Since it's the sequel to a very successful series, I have to imagine it did terrible.~~

Edit: Nope. It was one of the best selling games of all time.
