That is objectively a pretty good deal, tho. I'm guessing the sales subsidy is based on the reality of the bad press they get and the fact that Steam is easily the primary source for PC purchases. Drama aside, Epic's store is demonstrably offering a better take than Steam. This is far more nuanced when taking in every side of the equation.
In interest of fairness; yes, Epic needs to buff up the Epic store. If anything but to defang that common argument against them. Also they need to cut these deals well before a game has announced its platforms. They have to know a game suddenly being exclusive to a platform/launcher is bad taste.
I do wonder that when they do beef up the Epic Store yo rival Steam, will gamers get over it or will they shift goalposts.
