The timed exclusivity deals are what did it for me
Bringing that bullshit to the PC gaming market guaranteed I'll never spend a penny on their storefront.
If the carrot they're leading with is limiting choice, I'm not going to hang around waiting to find out what the stick might be if they get successful
Epic is doing me a favor, I get to keep my money while I play my backlog, then I buy the game on Steam / GOG for cheaper later on.
