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.

Anyone believing Steam isn't a monopoly is seriously uninformed on the topic or letting their enjoy enjoyment of the platform cloud their view of reality.

While it sucks to have games get exclusivity agreements with EGS when EGS sucks compared to Steam, it doesn't suddenly mean that Steam isn't a monopoly.
