Yeah, but frankly the high seas usually provide less than Steam does even with money in the equation. And that's probably the only case when high seas is worse, with all the other services in my experience the high seas provide better service(spotify was close). So the point is if a game doesn't release on Steam it's release date just moves to the moment it releases on Steam. Not the best scenario, but Steam really has little competition and Epic surely isn't trying to be one.
I have no problem with Steam. I was mainly talking about games that only (don't) come out on Epic Store, but maybe I wasn't clear enough.
