    This game was an epic games exclusive. Consider skipping it or acquiring it through other means

      Why? The fact that people are buying it now that it is on Steam already gives the message they didn’t want to buy it when it was an Epic exclusive. If people don’t buy it on Steam after it’s available then it doesn’t encourage devs/publishers to release on Steam at all either.

        It gives the message that publishers can take the Epic money for a timed exclusive, face no backlash or consequences and get the money from other customers as well on other storefronts.

        Buying it on Steam after the epic exclusivity rewards the developers/publishers for their anti-consumer behavior. This double-dipping practice is greedy and I personally won’t purchase any game that’s ever been epic exclusive
