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.

There are too many games to care about the tiny amount of them that aren't available on steam.
There are so many games that I don't even care about all the games available on Steam (that I'd be willing to play). We have so many games coming out that I'd have to play game for a living to play all the games I want to play, and even then I'm not 100% sure I'd be able to play everything I'd be open to play. I have multiple games that I've purchased and installed thinking "I'll get to them soon enough" and they're just taking drive space. I also have multiple games on my wishlist that are "waiting for a discount" but I'm probably never going to pick them up because actually they're waiting for my backlog to clear and it will never clear.
Does it suck that Alan Wake is Epic exclusive. Sure. Does it really matter to me? Not really because I'm oversaturated with games I want to play. Missing one great game doesn't matter when I already have a backlog of great games I won't purchase because I have a backlog of great games I've purchased that I won't play because I have a backlog of great games I really want to play.
