Epic only? Seriously?

I literally didn't even know this had released anywhere.  i see in on a website mentioned as being out and go, huh?  How'd I miss it?  Oh, Stardock in its infinite wisdom released it on Epic Games only -- that explains it.  Don't use Epic, don't even know anyone who can tolerate it.  I've owned almost all the stardock games from the beginning of the company -- I guess they don't want my money, releasing it on Epic only.  Plenty of other games out there.  Never thought they'd be dumb enough to piss off long-time players by releasing on a crap platform exclusively.  If that's how they want to play the game, that's fine. I shall return the favor by making GalCiv 4 the first GalCiv title I don't buy.  Their choice.  Had they released it on Steam at the same time, GalCiv is one of the few titles I'd have paid full price for.  Now, I might pick it up in a few years, once it's out elsewhere, but only on a very good sale price.  Again, Epic, seriously?  Thumbs Down, Stardock.   Exclusive release on Epic = automatic never/very very steep sale much later on buy.
