    Steam exclusives and nobody bat an eye.

    Not that any other game launcher/store can measure up to steam. But you lock yourself out of a lot of good games these days if you still avoid other launchers.

      Just wondering, in which cases has Valve paid the developers millions of dollars to make the games Steam exclusive again?

      The only steam ‘exclusives’ are the ones made by Valve themselves. While some developers prefer to only sell on Steam. See the difference? They CHOSE to only sell there. Not paid, not forced, and not bought out.

      I’ll just wait until the dev caves and puts it on Steam for half of the original price, I’ll pirate it, or I’ll literally never play it.

      They can have my money when they put it into the library I’m already bought into, or they get none of it. I’d consider using two libraries of games, if any of them could compete.

      Epic Games is garbage and low featured, Origin and Uplay/Ubisoft Connect are slow and clunky. Add this to the fact that I like my games to all be in the same list, and I’ve got very few reasons to encourage the companies running these bad launchers by paying them for the privilege.
