I think almost everybody will agree with this.   The pattern is that these "exclusivity" agreements last one year, and then things are wide open.  As  far as Stardock is concerned, they are a small developer, and making their stuff available in the least expensive way possible probably explains the use of EPIC to start out.  Oh well.  The best thing that could happen is that the game is wildly popular (my choice) and Steam regrets their terms weren't as attractive as EPIC's.  And thus other games will be more likely to go on Steam.  In the last year I have seen two excellent games wind up on EPIC...Old World and GC4.  I  am grateful that it isn't more, I suppose.

I should add that I haven't personally had any problems with EPIC, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people who do have problems.  The main thing is having all my games on one platform is convenient.   I am embarassed to say how many games I have on Steam, so I won't. Let's just say it is into three figures.  Yipes.

I did. My internet was down, and for some reason I couldn't log in offline. The password box wouldn't come up. The message said I didn't have the right approval. This happened this morning. It happened last week, and I couldn't remember my password. So I went to Epic's website as soon as my internet was back up, and changed my password. But this morning the option to put it in never came up, only my email/ username. 

We're going to have a transfer to Steam setup sometime tomorrow.  Epic GC4 can get a steam key for $15.99.  We'll be posting here.

well I am that someone who got gc4 on epic last year or thereabouts.   So it is, at this point, a question of $16 vs $42 For ME.  As to frogboy's post I guess I am thinking perhaps I will refund on Epica and see how that goes. them try to get the steam key.

(added)  Well last night I somehow got 10 hrs posted on Supernova.   The refund policy is only for 2 hrs or less.   So  it seems for me the choice is epic and $16 or steam and $42, at which point I will have the original gc4 on epic and supernova on steam.   But I can take my chances for $16 and see how it works out.  Yeah I should have done more probing before jumping in.  Oh well, ever since beta testing GC3, I have been buying updates etc as soon as I see them.  In the long run no big deal... until I run into an epic fail (LoL).
