I don't even know how to actually check what I have on my Epic account without going to past purchases. It's baffling how a company that's trying to take more marketshare from a platform as polished as Steam without focusing more on UX.

Any chance they had of getting me as a customer died when they started doing Epic store exclusives. I won't give them money to build another walled garden. There's more than a few games I haven't purchased because of those deals and by the time they finally come to steam I don't care enough about them anymore to spend the money.
Even though Borderlands 3 is now on Steam, I still refuse to buy it because of their exclusive deal... I own every other Borderlands game, but I will never buy that one

If you buy it from steam, they might have an incentive to actually move more games over there.
I understand the sentiment though.

They're just annoyed and lashing out by spending their unexpected Fortnight fortunes. There was no strategy.

Which is kind of odd, since the Unreal Marketplace in the same launcher does have a shopping cart.
