If you have trouble on Steam then use Microsoft store or smth like Minecraft
I mostly use Epic and GOG (There are some issues for me with the MS store, but not anything like the issues with Steam).
And the point of posting here was that this game hadn't been confirmed to be coming to any store other than Steam. Saying "just use other stores" doesn't help when the game you're asking to be released on other stores hasn't been confirmed to be coming to any other stores yet.
