For people to get bent out of shape over thinking you have to "pick a side" for your PC store is laughable. Unlike consoles, exclusives on PC stores don't come with a $400 barrier to entry.

Also note epic didn’t pay 2k or gearbox to make borderlands 3. They paid them to not sel on steam. PS and XB own the companies making exclusives. 1st party be 3rd party. Imagine only being able to buy rockstar games at GameStop. That’s the difference.
Can you be more specific about why someone paying for exclusivity is such a turnoff for you? As opposed to owning/paying for development of the product.

Its the evil version of "this wasn't coming to a place but we paid for it to" Like if a theater buys the rights to show a movie in a different place vs paying for it to only be available from their theater

So a game being exclusive to Steam is different than a game being exclusive to Epic if it was paid to be an exclusive? Because the end result is the same, a game is only able to be played from one platform or another.

I have no problem with first party exclusives. If you own a product, please sell it in/on your platform. However depriving any consumer the access to content on any third party game that you do not own, gets under my skin.

Do you feel like it gets under your skin because it’s a business decision as opposed to a product/consumer decision? And is it more or less annoying when a company cuts a feature to hit a release date as a business decision?

Epic paying to keep games off steam takes away in game features as well. Cloud saves and controller is big for me. I travel a lot and have a pc hooked to my tv as well as a traditional set up. No cloud saves means I can’t continue where I left of on a second machine.
