I get their free games though the browser store.
It's 100% the developer/publishers choice whether to go exclusive or not. I trust they are making the best decision for their own financial situation, and who can blame them for that in such a saturated environment?
I don't blame any devs for taking the deal.
So they have to risk their livelihood to be worthy of earning your money?
I don't have enough money to buy every single indie game I might be interested in.

Sure. I was more referring to the fact that when it comes to talk of exclusives people blame Epic, but it's 100% on the dev/publisher. It's like, Epic might be going door to door with a big bag of cash trying to buy peoples stuff, but they can't just walk in and take it, i.e. it's entirely the choice of the dev/pub to hand their stuff over. I don't blame the devs though. We don't have access to their financial situation. Maybe they feel they can't take the risk of not getting noticed or not getting enough sales as it will kill their company. Maybe they want enough security to make their next game while having enough leverage to keep their IP and get a good publishing deal if applicable, rather than getting screwed with a predatory deal from a big pub. It's not like they owe me their game on the platform of my choice. It's their game, they can do what they want with it.
Try not to stress out over how you engage in recreation. If the number of games you've got is worrisome to you, stop acquiring them (yes, even the free ones) and go play them instead so you can call them 'done'.
Maybe less blunt than I was, but not really different from what I was saying. It's definitely your right to spend your money anyway you see fit, but I feel like it's the wrong reason to reward someone that is trying to sell you something.
I'm more impressed with the whopping 47% completion! WOWFinally hit 2,500 on Steam

Pretty sure that percentage doesn't include games that haven't been played yet. Mines at 40% and there's no way I've beaten that percentage of my 1166 titles owned.
Feels like a lot of loot driven games fall into this area where they need to pad out the game to make the loot grind meaningful which ends up making the early game feel like a snoozefest. Felt the same way with the Borderlands 3 during the free weekend they had recently. That game legit put me to sleep in the mid afternoon that I played it....soooo boring.
