After taking an exclusive deal with Epic Games Store, many games have hoped for a second sales bump when they eventually return to Steam, the world's largest PC gaming marketplace - but only a handful have succeeded. In this video, we'll look at how those few games pulled it off.

Is the Epic Games Store failing to capture new customers, other than those collecting free games? Is the customer experience still bad, or is it improving? Only time will tell, but I think the Epic Games Store's exclusivity deals are bad for customers, bad for gaming and bad for you.

(Player counts, reviews and review averages in this video were captured using Steam, SteamDB and Metacritic in March 2022. Player counts and user review averages may adjust over time.)
