 personally, the "ninja-ing" games for exclusivity deals right before release (especially when advertised to be sold on other platforms like Steam or even GOG, too) is another point that pushes me away from using Epic.

Other than Metro Exodus what other games have been 'ninjad' for exclusivity before release? The latest example I've heard is Shenmue 3 which was never actually confirmed for just Steam but just 'PC'. There's Phoenix Point I guess but full refunds and a small team taking the option that ensures them more consistent funding for a smoother experience and easier post-launch support seems almost worth 'burning bridges' over or whatever.
