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.

So we're using a bad mechanism (exclusivity deals) to make people use an inferior product (Epic vs Steam), but "It's totally going to be better for you in the future bro, trust me!".

I'm sorry, but can we make it sound any more like a scam? It's not quite there yet. Can you add something with crypto or AI or an MLM?

Epic has a lot of money, they should find a way to offer a better service in some ways like Gog does.
