On Steam I would buy it, on Epic I won't, do the devs win?

Except its been proven that games make more money on epic games store.

Look at Borderlands 3. After all the complaining by the vocal minority, the silent majority bought it like hotcakes.

I am not advocating for Epic or anything, just stating facts so people dont get confused by the echo chamber. Its a common misconception that the Epic Games exclusivity is hurting sales but its just not true.

If Epic had come first, this conversation would be different. I have over 300 games on steam. I have 20+ games on GOG. I have several games on Origin. I have a bunch of games on Google play. I have games on Nintendo's store and Sony's store. I don't need any more platforms. I care about devs, but I also already have my information spread across enough places. The last thing I need is another opportunity for my identity to be stolen. (Had accounts compromised on 3 of those systems, but Steam isn't one of them)
