I understand that Epic funded their project to be an Epic exclusive, but was that a financially sound decision excluding the major market place. Could they not have worked in like a two year or three year exclusive period
and who exactly have they excluded? aside from the steam deck users every steam user can easily use epic game store
People who don't want to use the epic store. That was me. I just don't want another launcher, another account. I'll get around to it at some point I'm sure but I didn't buy AW2 and probably would have if it wasn't an exclusive.
Me? Granted I get all their games for free (thanks dude!), but I definitely won't use Epic store. Would have gotten it for free if I used it, though.
