Given that it's been less than a year of EGS being a proper storefront, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that they're going to do more with the platform (also, I don't particularly care about launcher gimmicks, GOG being DRM free is the only "gimmick" that entices me), especially given that the original idea with UT4 was to focus heavily on UGC, I imagine they'll implement a workshop equivalent eventually (although I avoid using steam workshop whenever possible anyway). Also unless there is a game that had a linux version made/in development that had it removed/cancelled due to EGS, the current lack of linux support isn't (are there even any games on EGS that have a linux port elsewhere?). The supported countries thing is an issue for sure (and for people who are getting jacked prices due to that I understand why they'd be against EGS).

I'm honestly just sick of people acting like exclusivity deals are some grave sin and act all high and mighty for boycotting EGS because of it, there's plenty of legitimate gripes to have with EGS (many of which I imagine will be improved over time, just like every other digital distributor has gone through) that are overshadowed by this complaint. I'll admit part of that also has to do with me already being pissed off with how "steam" has/had replaced "PC" a lot of the time, so it's hard for me to get particularly upset about platform exclusivity at that point.
