Steam's business developer and designer, Nathanial Blue, says Valve didn't mean to encourage backlash against the decision to make Metro Exodus an Epic Store exclusive.
Valve had updated the Metro Exodus Steam page with a note calling the game's move to the Epic Store "unfair," and emphasising Steam was "only recently informed of the decision."
Consequently some fans responded poorly to the news, despite the fact those who'd already pre-ordered the game on Steam would still be able to play it there, and that Metro Exodus is cheaper on the Epic Store thanks to the platform's smaller taxing revenue split. Members of Metro Exodus's development team began receiving threatening messages, and other Metro games were review bombed on Steam.
