How Epic Store Exclusives are bringing console wars to PC

I"ll watch the videos later, and give my full thoughts. 

As for why devs won't leave consoles...

They need to be on consoles to access console consumers. They don't need to be part of Steam to access PC consumers. 

Didn't know about Discord's cut. I'll aim for them before I buy on Steam from now on. 

I'd appreciate if you did for both. The guy puts effort into what he's talking about.

I don't think devs would ever leave consoles. Devs hardly leave any platform tbh, unless the platform in it's complete entirety has burned them or something, but such cases are insanely rare. 

Steam has the most users when you look at general PC gaming. Followed by GoG, Battle.net, Origin, Uplay and then Epic, with beth.net in dead last and god knows what Itch.io and Discord have (since Discord is a chat client first, which a lot of PC gamers use these days, but it wasn't downloaded to access the store as that came after). 

Honestly, you'd be going for small pickings if you choose only Discord over anyone else, same goes for Epic. I manage to grab keys for Steam at cheaper prices than Steam itself on various sites (like GMG, which is a legit key site, unlike G2A), but with Epic and Origin, as well as Battle.net and bethesda.net, you'll be out of luck on finding cheaper prices for games. 

Also, if we go by losing your entire library, I'd be far more worried about the smaller fish dying out first over the larger ones like Steam over say Discord for example.
