Launching it as an Epic Exclusive on PC sure didn't help.

Yep. Heard great things about the game, but I'm waiting till it's on steam to get it. I refuse to give Epic a dime. Exclusivity deals hurt consumers.

Remember that next time a game is exclusive to Windows

Okay?

2 wrongs don't make a right. That said, Microsoft does this much less frequently than Epic and mostly just with first party games.

Here's a list of Microsoft Store exclusives. I don't see a whole lot of triple A games on there.

Starfield was on Steam at launch, as was Halo Infinite. Microsoft has been moving away from exclusivity. But how dare they keep Solitaire all to themselves, right?
