I’ve been looking forward to Metro Exodus since it was announced at E3. I’m a pretty big fan of the series and seeing the Steam pre-orders sparked some semblance of joy into my dark, depressed heart. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford to pre-order the game, so I decided to wait until release before making a relatively expensive purchase. Recently, Deep Silver made an exclusivity deal with Epic to only sell the game on their store. After learning that I can’t buy Exodus through Steam, I sadly won’t buy it at all. I don’t swear any undying loyalty to Steam, nor do I think all other stores are inferior, but I can’t support a publisher that would take away the option of buying a game on my preferred platform after it had already been on the Steam store and sold pre-orders. I’m quite frankly disappointed and I would hate to see such conniving marketing strategies perpetuated in the future, hence my personal decision to boycott Metro Exodus. It’s such a shame as well, because I was really looking forward to playing what looks to be the greatest installment yet to the Metro series.
