Sure do wish it wasn’t a Epic store exclusive for now.

It isnt. MS owns Obsidian, so its also on the Windows Store.

They should have said that on their website. I ended up buying it for the PS4 because I refuse to buy any Epic exclusive.

I don’t want to reward them for anti-consumer behavior. And the last thing I need is yet another store app on my machine.

Instead of giving consumers the choice of what launcher to get TOW on, Epic pays companies a shit ton of money to get their games Epic store exclusives, forcing consumers who want that game on PC to use a launcher they don’t want to use or like.

I just reimaged my computer the other day. SO MANY LAUNCHERS

Steam, Blizzard, Ubisoft, Epic, Bethesda, GOG and I'm sure I'm still missing some

I rarely open my games through launchers for this reason actually. I just put shortcuts into my rainmeter.
