Which, as has been the case with many recent Epic Games Store only announcements, has caused quite a bit of backlash. With many citing the original Kickstarter as specifically mentioning that the PC version would be a Steam release.

Regarding the whole Epic Games Store exclusive stuff, developer Ys Net released the following statement.
Development for Shenmue III has been moving forward using Unreal Engine and the support we have received from Epic has been excellent. But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option.
Shenmue III will be out November 19 for PC and PS4.
