I mean that's good for developers I suppose but I'm still not going to be buying from Epic.

I'm pro competition. However a lot of people are deceived into thinking Epic is a competitor to Valve. They do not deliver similar levels of value and service.

Price competition is silly in digital marketplace, where you know any product can go on sale randomly at a very high discount. Thinking "I'll buy it here now because it's 30% cheaper, cool" sounds like a recipe for selling your loyalty, for cheap. Though in reality it would never really be 30%, so you're aiming to sell yourself even cheaper.
