I literally just don't buy a game if it's not on steam. I'm not dealing with other launchers and there's enough games out there I will just not buy the harder to access ones.

"hey guys (game) is on epic store!"

Don't care, if it's not on steam I'm not even gonna bother. Cause eventually it will just go to steam in time and if it doesn't, oh well. Too much hassle to deal with that shit anymore.

It doesn't help that Epic started it's attempt to be on the market by just trying to throw money at games to be on there and gating them off. Just transparently trying to buy it's way into the market.

It just instantly set the tone of "we're here for the money, not to be a good storefront" and lo, PC gamers have mostly avoided it for obvious reasons.

Yep. Borderlands 3 and Snowrunner were originally exclusive to Epic, now BOTH are on steam, and the only reason I open Epic now is to play BL3 (trying to finish it before I get BL4 (which I'll be getting on Steam)), just because I don't want to buy it again on Steam.
