SPOILERS Saints Row (2022) official info

Why the surprise, we know it was a one year exclusive and will come to Steam exactly 365 days after its initial release.
 
I'm not surprised it's coming to Steam a year later. I thought maybe they wanted to release it earlier than August but I forgot about their roadmap
 
They legally can't release it earlier, that would be a breach of contract.

To be expected, the game was obviously being worked as a Steam release first but Deep Silver and Volition got dollar signs on their eyes and went as a timed Epic exclusive to maximize profits.
Despite the fact that they wouldn't make maximum profits because the game doesn't use Unreal, which would make the game cheaper to make.
 
It's normal for playtests to be on Steam even if the game is already known to be an Epic exclusive, because Epic's dollarstore application has no feature for playtesting. I wish Valve would do something against that to punish shitty publishers.
 
My running bet is a soft relaunch on Steam in the form of a, "Complete Edition," or something like that.

The rumor mill I heard was Volition had no real say in the Epic exclusivity, I mean realistically why would they as a developer and not the publisher. While I know there's stuff to complain about, I don't really want to throw Volition under the bus for some of Deep Silvers actions. No dev wants their game rushed out the door.
 
That's the one thing I'd probably hate if I'd actually gone down the route of becoming a Game Designer, is knowing I have an unrealistic deadline to have a fully tested, bug free, smooth running, perfectly polished game to be released. And then the blame would get thrown back at me when the game flops because of it's many bugs or unfinished features, even though I did not set the deadline.
