I don't feel good about myself, but I knew it was inevitable. I bought my first title on the Epic Store.  :-[

There are just too many attractive titles going exclusive and I don't think I want to punish the developer for making deals that will give them more of a piece of the profit pie, which I hope will be siphoned back into further development.

Yes, I still have major concerns about the security of the Epic platform, but I am not saving any financial information with my account.  Also, the platform is far inferior to Steam in terms of utility and function, but maybe it will improve over time.

So, I have compromised with myself...I will not pre-order Epic exclusive titles, particularly titles that were originally marketed with Steam access. However, once a title is released in EA or in retail state, I will consider the purchase.

What exclusive did you get?

Jarhead0331

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and I will probably get Satisfactory, as well.

Damn, didn't realise this was an exclusive. FFS.

Epic store was created by the Fortnite developers. Like Valve created Steam.

Shame on you, Jarhead.  At least you admitted it though.

My own embargo continues; they won't ever see a penny of my money.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is the one game I am considering a purchase on Epic Store. $30 USD is a tempting offer.

Is Rebel Galaxy: Outlaw your only gray market purchase so far?

So far, yes. But, like I said, I'm probably going to pick up Satisfactory, as well. There are a couple of others on the horizon that have my interest, but I will not pre-order.

I feel the same way I did when Superman gave up his powers for Lois Lane. Epic is a wanton gaming chippie.

It's ok.  I'm going to do the same with Outer Worlds and Mechwarrior.
