Yeah, it’s a little frustrating that 3 games I’ve been watching since last year all went Epic exclusive after the fact (Satisfactory, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, and this one.)
Although, this article suggests that “PC Gamer has learned that The Outer Worlds will also release on the Microsoft Store”. Not that the MS Store is necessarily a better option than the EGS, but I’ll be much happier using my credit card on it than on Epic. Anything I do possibly decide to buy from Epic will definitely be through PayPal.
Also interesting note in that article about “Quantic Dream’s previous PlayStation-exclusive trio of Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls are also coming to the PC for the first time, exclusively to Epic Store.”. We spoke about that possibility earlier this year (Quantic Dream is Going Multiplatform) and now it seems our wishes are coming true. Just with the “exclusive to Epic Store” issue.
