I'm not following a trend. It's my own thoughts long before the masses adopted my belief.

why not release games on steam and epic?
simple. epic loses, people would prefer to mostly purchase on steam.
epic HAS to buy games out in order to compete with steam.
there is no need for epic to do this. it hurts consumer choice.
again, epic knows steam is king and they will lose so they have to limit gamer's choices by forcing games onto their store. they aren't buying epic exclusivity, they are buying games to keep them off of steam because they can't win that battle. it's annoying to gamers.
I speak with my wallet. That's why I will NEVER purchase any game that is exclusive to epic, even after the exclusivity when it comes to steam. it's one sale, but it's my vote and I have the choice to not buy.

not sure what the problem is. you'd still play it on PC...or are achievements more important than getting on with life?

I still can't play Bloodborne on PC. Where is the gamer outrage about that?

Exclusives aren't new. At least PC gamers can still play exclusive games on other platforms. They just have to use a different launcher.

Steam fandom and loyalty will not stop this practice. Steam is going to have to step up and get it's own exclusives. Just like Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation, Ubisoft, EA, etc.

but its not really about exclusives when it's an open platform. It's PC , not a potato (consoles) which even those have exclusives that are far and few inbetween being almost identical in terms of titles.

steam was forced on users too. you could buy stuff at a retail store and still had to install steam to play the game. exclusivity/forced installs is realistically the only way to make a dent into steams market share. nobody will change the launcher for features. look at GOG and how they are in trouble (layoffs, rumours of being in the red), in spite of being a DRM-free shop.

Obviously some people want steam to have the monopoly for selling games.
So short-sighted..
