I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?

If anyone can try, it's the Fortnite Bank.

So, why the hate?

I don't hate times exclusives that much because that's done extra cashflow for the dev to be able to either finish their game or polish it further. I still don't think we'd have gotten Alan Wake 2 at least the version we got without that epic deal. I also don't know if square would've bothered even entertaining the idea of porting all of the kingdoms hearts games either.
