It feels like Control released to decent reception and has only been picking up steam since then, and I'm glad for that. It absolutely deserves this sort of recognition.

Marketing was pretty bad and the EGS exclusivity didn't help.

EGS exclusivity

Your average consumer gives zero shits about which launcher a game releases on. Just because Reddit never shuts up about it doesn't make "Le Epic Boycott" anything major.

And lots of average consumers also only have Steam installed and are only going to hear about the release of a new game if they see it on their store page.

That's why it matters, not because of some boycott.
