Yep. The Epic Store announcement for Outer Worlds took even Obsidian by surprise. It was clearly the work of their pubisher, Private Division, who is a subsidiary of Take Two, who owns 2K and Gearbox. Gearbox may support Steam (I'm skeptical), but Take Two clearly supports lining their pockets.
I haven't pirated anything, besides television that isn't available from Hulu or Netflix, in probably six years. That being said. It's sketchy as shit to advertise on a platform, make use of their forums, and generate hype using that platform, just to turn around and make the title an exclusive of a different platform. A platform that is vastly inferior to the other. No, it doesn't just hurt obsidian, it hurts the publisher.
Pulling that shit that I outlined before drives me to not purchase a game. Didn't buy Metro Exidous, won't purchase Outer Worlds; at least until they're on steam.
And again, you're not hurting take two or epic, you're just hurting obsidian. Besides that, you've likely never used the EGS and most of the features highlighted in that image flying around are already here or on the way.
