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.

Steam, Epic, GOG, it’s all the same to me. I’m not gonna fanboy over one platform and miss out on a game. That’s just ridiculous.

I think don't it's as much fanboyism over steam and more unfanboyism over epic games

If a game is only released on Epic, it hasn't been released yet. Its just in some weird alpha state until it has broader release.

Other than Fortnite, what game is only available on Epic?

[–] Raab 1 points 57 minutes ago

Metro, borderlands, basically any game that Epic pays to have exclusivity on for the first 6 months after release.

During their early access days Hades and I believe Satisfactory were only on Epic.

Know what happens when I find out a game is Epic exclusive? I don't buy it for a year... Sometimes ever. Enjoy the Epic money kings, hope it's worth it.

I feel the same, when the game is not available on GOG.
