Given that statement is even legit.

If this bombs on PC, it's gonna do worse everywhere else
This whole Epic/Steam slapfight is the most attention this game has received since its initial reveal

Epic safeguarding free choice, competition, and an open platform by... taking away consumer choice...
PC gamers killing PC gaming by... exercising free choice...
uh... hmm.
*thinking cap*
Every day Crackdown 3 becomes more and more attractive. I need something I can turn my brain off to, this stupidity is just too much.
One thing I've noticed from this whole Epic business is that some devs have a rather negative view of their customer base. I've seen some hostile comments.
That's because some devs are rather self-centered and can never be at fault. For them, they can never do any wrong, their product is perfect and we're terrible persons.
- Make digital PC downloads of a game exclusive to a single store due to its competitors' 30% cut
-> Game sells poorly on PC
-> Become exclusive to platforms where the only way to get digital downloads is from a single store.... with a 30% cut.

Well the industry is full of people that reinforce this, from consumers, games media etc.
Some devs feel entitled to consumer interest and sales.
That's really the whole point of this Epic vs Steam thing.
I'm strongly in the "I don't care what launcher I use" camp, but good lord, the developments on this story are just flat out comical. What a stupid thing to say when PC gamers are literally the only people I've seen discuss the Metro franchise prior to it being on Xbox's stage some E3 ago.

Updated Thread Title. It is difficult to confirm the authenticity of this currently. Instead of locking the thread and waiting for news, we will simply mark the thread as unconfirmed currently and see how the discussion plays out.
Anyone who pirates this game for launching in another store is trash.
If I'm honest, I'll probably get the game if reviews are amazing. They better be amazing though. I refunded my preorder, so it's kind of nice that I won't have to play it if it's shitty.
All that shitshow around Metro lost them a lot of customers probably
I hope money from Epic is worth it
