That fucken sucks, I have the entire collection on epic already. Don't really feel like buying it again
And that’s exactly why Epic paid for the exclusive.
Yeah, its cool its on Steam. But it sucks for the people who didn't wait like 4 years. It is what it is but fuck exclusives.
Patient Gamers rise.
Remember: There will always be a better deal later.
Also: If you already have played it, you got the early possibility to do so.
I just pre-ordered your next comment I enjoyed this one so much.
Patient gamer reporting here.
As long as you wait, you are showing your support to it being epic exclusive with your wallet.
It's a sad reality that I also participated in the past, but after the deck never again
What?
You've got it already, hell, you bought it on the platform that keeps the smallest share of profit, why do you care that it's getting released on another launcher?
Cause I would have preferred to buy it on Steam so all my things are in one place. But as I said to another reply; it is what it is. I'm not buying it a 3rd time.
Maybe shouldn't have bothered with epic in the first place?
How could I have known it would not remain exclusive...?
That's not the point. If you ask me I'd rather pirate a game like this vs paying for it on a crappy platform. And in case it can't be pirated I'd play something else. Though it's also possible to emulate these games I guess.
That's not the point? Four years ago I wanted to play KH on my computer and the only place that had it was Epic.
And that's the main point of their business model - imposing artificial limits instead of caring about your experience. Don't fall for it, don't give them your money. The faster epic dies as a platform, the faster gaming industry will see improvements.
This was the only thing I've ever paid for on Epic. Only reason I had it to begin with is UE4 was required for my classes.
Good for you I guess. Though it doesn't invalidate what I've said, and I'd have repeated it all again even if I knew you've paid for just one product.

There you go
What's with the down vote? This seems kind of cool.
Why does it matter?
The platform isn’t changing, still Windows only
If we're lucky, Steamdeck verified will also mean it'll run fine on linux.
With a quick Google search it already does with the Epic version, though it's maybe a little janky (which I expect to remain). Valve created Proton, but you can use it outside of Steam.
Still Windows only
It’s not like you can’t use proton/wine with Epic
Why were you dumb enough to buy it on epic? Should've just pirated it
That insult is unnecessary. And look at the date of this release: fitgirl repack
