Epic? Not even once.....

I don't agree with Epic trying to artificially segment the PC market with needless timed exclusives. If they want to compete with Steam, make a better product, but don't remove choice from the consumer. With that being said, I vote with my wallet and time on this one, I won't install Epic, or give them money.

I didn't know this is an exclusive, I remember playing it few years ago on Switch, it was one of the first games I bought there.

I doubt it was, sorry I didn't intend to imply this title was an exclusive. It's just the practice of Epic securing timed exclusives is scummy, so I don't use their store due to that reason, free games or no.
