They can't just be cheaper than other platforms because Steam has locked that down too by offering free keys to dominate all sides of the market, so that's not much of a draw.
I genuinely can't imagine another way of competing than paying for exclusives until they gain enough audience to become self-sufficient. Seems good for developers too.
I find the whining about this hilariously disproportionately, largely because Epic Game Store seems... fine? And Steam isn't exactly special these days.
And Microsoft Store is a bit of a mess, in part because of the weird relationship it has with Windows and Microsoft's weird indecision.

Yeah, it's fine? Better UI than Steam, especially the store. Still a bit barebones - it needs more features to be scalable - but it seems but they seem to be doing significant updates at a faster pace than Steam ever did. They're getting there.
My biggest complaint is no patch notes on client update but meh.

Steam's lack of basic quality control is fucking annoying, combined with the shitty presentation fo the store. The "discovery queue" is a fucking horrible way of doing anything - I'm not slowly clicking through dozens of items in a list to find something.
Just give prominence to several interesting newly released things on the front page, you assholes. Stop showing me 3 year old games that everyone knows about. That's how games shops work, it shouldn't be hard.

because Epic doesn't want to co-exist, they want to replace Steam
