That's just wrong.

kinda true tbh.

No it isn't. Exclusivity is not a requirement to release on EGS.

Pretty much every large recent game that has gone to Epic Games store has been withheld for 3-12 months as a timed exclusive. I remember Borderlands 3 being released on EGS, and Steam players waited it out... Steam also knocked 30% off the pricetag the day it was no longer exclusive.

Kingdom Hearts was also an exclusive, most likely bought out for a long period by EGS to take business away from Steam... but when and if the exclusivity runs out, you best be sure that Steam will gladly give the KH series another huge boost in sales (most likely bigger than EGS gave them by buying the timed exclusive PC release)

Tim Sweeney tried to make their own PC platform to compete with Steam, tossed around a fat wad of cash to studios to get people to come for the exclusives, and its pretty sad. Make a better platform and people will come to it.

The publishers of those games got paid for tat exclusivity. That's the whole reason why EGS is so disliked. They don't compete with the features of their client but with the money they throw at publishers.

Remnant 2, Jedi: Survivor and Hogwarts Legacy are all million player games and are sold on both platforms simultaneously since release. No, exclusivity is not mandatory to sell on EGS. Publishers just want the extra money.

People actually use the Epic Fail store?

Yes, the none followers use EPIC. You dont have a reason to not use EPIC, short of some youtuber told you followers not to use it.

You mean other than that they have a garbage client and are the most anti consumer platform out there?

You just made my point, "Anti-consumer" is the talking point by some content creator on youtube. You imply that you are pro consumer, yet you pull for steam to have monopoly. What difference does the client make, its really just to launch the game.

You mean the launcher that takes 5 min and 25 mouse clicks to launch without mod support, no forum, no evaluation feature? I made the mistake to buy RDR2 on Epic Store and now I sometimes hesitate to play it just by the idea that I have to launch Epic Store first.

I would welcome competition to Steam, but Epic Store is not competition to Steam for consumers. It's competition to Steam for developers by offering a very bad and limited service to consumers.

Best part of EGS is watching the little boxes change color during installs/downloads. I have, in moments of boredom, deleted a small game and re-downloaded it just to watch.

Oh, boy, you're making so many baseless assumptions, I don't even know if it's worth answering to this, but here goes nothing.

I don't advocate for a monopoly. I advocate for a platform to actually compete with their service and not some exclusivity deals that have been anti consumer since forever.

If a client is just there to launch the game, then what are you even doing here in the forums?

Also I usually don't buy on Steam since there are other official retailers that sell the game for a better price.

I didn't make your point. Your prejudice didn't lead to a single correct assumption regarding me as a person and the way I form my opinions.
