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

[–] batmaniam@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.
