The whole idea sucks. You know what would be worse than Steam having a monopoly on PC game stores? Five different megacorps each as untrustworthy as Epic dividing the market between them, each with their own exclusive deals so that people who want access to most things need to sign up for all of them. Like with the streaming services it would only drive people back to piracy.
Sooo don't buy in. Steam, Itch and GoG have covered all my gaming needs for a decade. Why look anywhere else?
The exclusive deals... I personally will wait for a game to move from epic exclusive to steam, but maybe some people don't want to.
If EPIC funded it then they aren't going to move to Steam.
Alan Wake 2 is never coming to Steam. So you can 🏴☠️ or you can choose not to play it.
