Its because the other exclusives are the devs/publishers launcher. While epic was actively seeking those 1year exclusivity deals to get more users on the platform.

Aluminum cans also have plastic in them
I hate you for this pun
Ah of course, the well known Highly Transmittable Male Ligma
Oh I'm not bitching, I'm enjoying an ad free YouTube without paying, while I do see value in the service, I don't have money just laying around to throw ever so willingly at it, while I could spend it on a meal or two.
If I can get what I need for free then I'll do it, if I can't then I'll move to something else.
Now imagine that.
Well great, I neither pay nor do I watch the ads, I'll save my 12$ a month elsewhere
xif, to be inclusive
I doubt that he's paying a subscription for a single movie, besides he got refunded 5 extra bucks, which amounts to at least something
I'm quite happy that at least steam doesn't wipe (as to my knowledge) a game from their servers, yes they can remove it from the store front, but if you bought it you can still download and play it
The fact that people shit on every proprietary software saying FOSS is better.
While FOSS is definitely good for the consumer. Proprietary is sometimes just better in function ¯\(ツ)/¯
Well it really depends how you look at it. For the devs it's better in terms of how much they get per purchase given that epic takes a lower cut than steam, IIRC 15% as opposed to 30%.
But many users hate epic as a platform seeing how it's not as mature in features, and probably just pure love of steam.
What I'm actually wondering about is if it's worth signing the exclusivity deal seeing how some people will not bother buying a game on a platform they hate or do enough people purchase for it to even out and even gain a larger profit.
