Epic is doubling down on it's exclusivity initiative

Normally I'm against exclusivity, but its not like Epic "exclusive" games can only be played on some PC's. It is just a free, universally available storefront so there really isn't a strong consumer drawback to "exclusivity". "I can't buy it from my preferred store" doesn't really seem like a strong enough drawback for me to get worked up about.

I'd be interested to hear from those who are angry about this what the actual cost of exclusivity is to the consumer.

For me, I have stayed away due to the privacy issues that came out not long after the launch of the store.  Their lawsuits against Apple and Google, and their constant theft of content for Fortnite certainly haven't helped their case in my eyes.
