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.

I have a friend that uses epic games. I met him on steam. I've never played an epic game even though he keeps telling me about free games or whatever on epic games.
I mean they're getting our data directly or buying it. I might as well be one of the folk who gets compensated for my data.
Yeah it's not like valve or any of the other companies that sell games on steam too. They'll all have your data and some what people think are so dastardly, (when in reality it's just grown-ups playing with numbers).
I got exactly one free epic game (subnautica) that I uninstalled and bought immediately the day I couldn't play the game because I lost Internet and there was no goddamned offline mode.
Epic store is shovelware, and I can't believe the amount of people who defend a 4th rate store comparing itself to the gold standard that can't even offer basic functionality expected of a modern platform. But people always have liked trash, so meh.
