I know playstation has been pushing more to PC but like isn’t a game only for epic pretty much the same as a Playstation exclusive? Sure it’s annoying but brands have always had exclusives

I have a backlog of great games to play so long that I’m seeing remasters of some games on the list come out before I’ve played them a first time. I have no problem waiting for games to come to a different platform and go on sale.

Which game?

I just wait until the exclusivity expires and then wait for it to go on deep discount because at that point I’ve moved on.

I’ve never had any issues with pirating said games myself

EGS buyers can beta test it for me, that’s fine.

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

I just never buy those games. Epic released with exclusives but couldn't process payments in a number of country leaving gamers there SOL. That and some of the higher-ups there just left a really bad taste in my mouth. Anything that also releases as a timed exclusive there doesn't get a purchase from me until years later when it's more than half off (and I think I've only bought one game like that). A Steam monopoly is bad, but Epic are not the solution to that.

Seconded. I’d prefer to see GOG and Itch.io as the big competitors to Steam

IMO if it’s exclusive to one store, sailing the seas is morally just.

Just circle back in a year and buy at a discount on steam XD.

I ignore epic totally

Think of it as a “this game is not yet available for purchase” seal. It may also mean “we know our game is not up to standards (it wouldn’t sell well on Steam), so we chose to let idiots at epic decide if they want to pay for it, and hey it worked so that’s something”.

It is also available on the pirate bay.

And unless you're an idiot, it's pretty nigh impossible to get caught in that honey trap.

Anything but not play those certain games?

Just don’t use “Epic” man.
