Yeah I feel there is a weird history between steam and remedy media. Like I remember when you could one day buy Alan Wake like really cheap since it was being taken off steam. Then the Epic deal making Alan Wake 2 exclusive basically meant they excluded a lot of customers immediately on steam.
I know a guy who’s been working there for well over a decade, I wonder if he’s got any insights on this weird behavior they’ve been doing. He’s got no power over financial decisions, so it’s not likely he’s got any details.
I understand that Epic funded their project to be an Epic exclusive, but was that a financially sound decision excluding the major market place. Could they not have worked in like a two year or three year exclusive period
People who don’t want to use the epic store. That was me. I just don’t want another launcher, another account. I’ll get around to it at some point I’m sure but I didn’t buy AW2 and probably would have if it wasn’t an exclusive.

and who exactly have they excluded? aside from the steam deck users every steam user can easily use epic game store
Me? Granted I get all their games for free (thanks dude!), but I definitely won’t use Epic store. Would have gotten it for free if I used it, though.
