Exclusivity is done by everyone except new Microsoft. Counter Strike 2, Dota 2, and even small games like Half-Life Alyx remain Steam exclusive. Fortnite on PC is exclusive to the Epic Games Store. Why isn't anyone throwing a tantrum about what's going on there? Is Valve ran by a bunch of dumbasses or do they get a free pass?

People complain about Epic exclusives all the time. Steam mostly gets a free pass because it's genuinely a great service, even with its flaws. Personally I have my reservations about Steam as well but it's proven to be a good service (although I have my worries regarding the time after Gabe).

Most complain about 3rd party exclusives, not Fortnite. If Valve as a platform holder can keep their stuff exclusive to their service, why can't other platform holders do the same?

It's all platform warring and entitled gamer BS. I don't see Playstation or Nintendo fans (that aren't also PC gamers) demanding other platform holders to port their games to their preferred platforms, or acting all obnoxious about it. I would have loved to have Half Life Alyx on my PSVR2, but I understand why it isn't a thing and respect it.

That's not to say PS and Nintendo fanboys are angels. They're insufferable in their own unique ways lol.
