that seems like an issue that the makers of games can decide. they are not under any gun to choose steam. if the devs don’t see value in steam then they can go elsewhere. for me as a buyer it’s steam, or it’s the developers own website. i will not buy from another store front

The only Epic Games Store games I have, I play through Heroic Launcher. In part due to lack of Linux support, but primarily because the Epic Games launcher fucking sucks.
