What?
You've got it already, hell, you bought it on the platform that keeps the smallest share of profit, why do you care that it's getting released on another launcher?
Cause I would have preferred to buy it on Steam so all my things are in one place. But as I said to another reply; it is what it is. I'm not buying it a 3rd time.

There you go
What's with the down vote? This seems kind of cool.
Maybe shouldn't have bothered with epic in the first place?
How could I have known it would not remain exclusive...?
That's not the point. If you ask me I'd rather pirate a game like this vs paying for it on a crappy platform. And in case it can't be pirated I'd play something else. Though it's also possible to emulate these games I guess.
That's not the point? Four years ago I wanted to play KH on my computer and the only place that had it was Epic.
And that's the main point of their business model - imposing artificial limits instead of caring about your experience. Don't fall for it, don't give them your money. The faster epic dies as a platform, the faster gaming industry will see improvements.
This was the only thing I've ever paid for on Epic. Only reason I had it to begin with is UE4 was required for my classes.
Good for you I guess. Though it doesn't invalidate what I've said, and I'd have repeated it all again even if I knew you've paid for just one product.
