I recall Mechwarrior 5 suffering that fate.

Pre-orders on Steam turned into Epic exclusive caused an uproar. It came out on Steam a year later and I waited another year after that, then waited for a sale.

And got a patched, polished game with mods - fun for co-op with friends.

I don't think my "protest delayed" purchase 2+ years later made an impact on them. But it sated me.

Whatever. At lease Epic didn't make anything. There's a bug difference between getting an exclusive or a timed exclusive because you partially funded a studio over just dumping buckets of money on a game that's basically done to make sure it doesn't end up on Steam for a year. I don't want to reboot or mess with other emulators. Steam works on Linux. Let me buy your game on Steam.
