You know what it's the worst part of releasing a game in an exclusive store? When the time comes to release it elsewhere, a year or more later, nobody wants to pay full price for a year or more old game and thus they most probably wait for a discount that properly fit older games.

You bring up a great point. When a game is exclusive to a different store, I can't wish listed on steam. So when it does eventually roll around the steam it's a real crapshoot if I'm even aware of it.

Indeed, I missed Outer Worlds launch for similar reasons, it just listed it on Steam and I'm like "That's out?" and the only one of my friends who even knew was the one guy with a PS4 who still plays consoles (To be fair he's not that computer literate and has pr oblems reading off of computer screen so he has decent excuses not to be)

Dead Island 2 actually released on steam after the exclusive period with a rather generous discount for the main game and the dlcs.
