    Yeah I feel there is a weird history between steam and remedy media. Like I remember when you could one day buy Alan Wake like really cheap since it was being taken off steam. Then the Epic deal making Alan Wake 2 exclusive basically meant they excluded a lot of customers immediately on steam.

      I know a guy who’s been working there for well over a decade, I wonder if he’s got any insights on this weird behavior they’ve been doing. He’s got no power over financial decisions, so it’s not likely he’s got any details.

        I understand that Epic funded their project to be an Epic exclusive, but was that a financially sound decision excluding the major market place. Could they not have worked in like a two year or three year exclusive period

          and who exactly have they excluded? aside from the steam deck users every steam user can easily use epic game store
