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 just never buy those games. Epic released with exclusives but couldn’t process payments in a number of country leaving gamers there SOL. That and some of the higher-ups there just left a really bad taste in my mouth. Anything that also releases as a timed exclusive there doesn’t get a purchase from me until years later when it’s more than half off (and I think I’ve only bought one game like that). A Steam monopoly is bad, but Epic are not the solution to that.

Seconded. I’d prefer to see GOG and Itch.io as the big competitors to Steam
