Steam: Here's a sale on a bunch of catered stuff

Epic Games: Here's a premium game and you cannot purchase it on any other platform because we paid the the dev to take the money and run.

Steam: here’s a platform. We know some corpos won’t release games without DRM, so here’s our in-house solution that’s non-intrusive, but if you don’t want to put DRM in your game, we won’t force you. Want to include a backup installer? Cool. No worries. Oh you don’t have solid internet? That’s cool, if you get the games installed somehow, you can use offline mode indefinitely with no issues, sorry it took us so long to work out the bugs.

Epic: YOU MUST YSE OUR SHITTY DRM FOR ANY GAME RELEASED ON OUR PLATFORM, AND YOU MUST BE ONLINE AT ALL TIMES OR YOU CANNOT PLAY THE GAMES YOU PURCHASED.

Wait, you can't play Epic-games while offline?

Honestly, you might be able to these days. I haven’t interacted with the Epic app in years though, and you couldn’t last I tried.
