Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

I can't think of any examples of the top of my head, but aren't there some games that should have thrived but we're heals back by launching as Epic exclusives?

~~Metro Exodus was like 5 bucks just a few months after launch. Since it's the sequel to a very successful series, I have to imagine it did terrible.~~

Edit: Nope. It was one of the best selling games of all time.

I would have purchased Borderlands 3 day 1, instead I waited and was warned off by shitty reviews.

Well, if you don’t have any examples, why even frame it as a fact that just misinforms people? Just state it as an opinion and be honest.
