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.

Give it a year, Epic Games Stores exclusivity always runs out eventually.

I get it being annoying... But why is it such a deal breaker? If the game is good, why not just install it, play the game, leave it when you're done?

The other storefronts have some cool features (namely gamepass for xbox and all of steamworks and the app stuff for steam), but it doesn't really matter if the game doesn't use em.

Some people prefer not to do business with entities whose business practices they don't support.

Anything but not play those certain games?
