Hypothetical scenario. I think they confirmed already it would release on Steam.
Highly anticipated game: Cyberpunk 2077. Let's imagine it would release exclusively (on PC) on their GoG store. Would you buy it there, or would you wait for a Steam version if there is a temporal exclusive, or just not buy it at all?
By the way, they already released their last games, Gwent and Thronebreaker only in GoG, with the notable difference that they released Thronebreaker a pair of weeks later on Steam, it seems because the sales were lower than expected for Thronebreaker. Although I believe they just overestimated how many people would buy it, just because they were Witcher fans (it seems not that many people were interested in a story based paid card game!)
The backstory of this thread is obvious. The real question here is, Can a exclusive big enough sway your current stance, in the case the stance is 'I only buy games on Steam' ?? And with a temporal exclusive, would you fall on the hype trap and buy it for release day?
