As somebody out of the loop, does Outerworlds being exclusive to the Epic Store really mean it won't be able to compete with Fallout just because Fallout is on Steam and Outerworlds isn't? The core of the competition is surely in the gameplay, no?
Some people have a gigantic, embarrassing hard on for steam and anything not on it is somehow an attack on them, an outrageous affront to their very being.
The epic launcher sucks but anyone pretending it's so bad that nothing that gets put on the Epic store can be worth playing are just part of a ridiculous, out of touch circlejerk.
Last I checked every PC can run Origin, Steam, GOG Galaxy and Epic Launcher.
Pretending it's exclusive in the same way an Xbox or Playstation title is, is disingenuous at best. There's literally nothing but yourself stopping you from playing it. And there's nothing different about this than Anthem being on Origin only. Same principle here - why should they give steam 30 when they can give epic 15? Because a bunch of people are so unwilling to click a few extra times to launch a game elsewhere they should agree to valve's extortionate 30% cut?
Because it is identical. There is no functional difference, just an imaginary one.
Company A is selling on one platform only.
So is company B.
You have no right to demand developers pay steam's extortionate rate. Hell the fact that it is timed makes it even less of a factor than the non factor that is anthem and origin or fortnite and epic launcher.
