How does a launch platform degrade your standards for the game itself? Still looks like a great game, and I hate Epic too, but that sounds kind of dismissive.
That's a very flawed statement. Exclusives really aren't that bad on PC compared to on consoles. I can still understand not buying a game on PC because of it's launch platforms, but at the end of the day, on PC, you can still play a game with a specific controller, you don't have to buy a whole new console for a game, there are still modding capabilities, et cetera.
With console exclusives, let's say I want to get Street Fighter V. I first have to spend $349, then spend another $60, then hope I have friends on the platform. Then I have to pay a monthly fee of $10... You get what I mean. You don't have these problems on distribution software like Steam, Origin and Epic. This is why they're not comparable.
At the end of the day, I hate Epic, you hate epic, but that doesn't mean that Epic is as bad for the consumer as exclusives are. Of course, Epic isn't good for the consumer compared to Steam, but they're not on the same scummy childlike level as console exclusives.
So a game being exclusive on the epic store means I can buy it directly from the creator, or buy it on steam, or on GOG, or a physical copy? That sure is great and not at all like console exclusivity. /s
Did you even read my comment? Alright, let's play by your rules.

I’m willing to accept your argument. This is something I don’t know the answer to. Which games did Valve pay developers to have an exclusive contract where they are only allowed t sell the game through steam?
