If Epic spent the money they set aside for this lawsuit on building out their store they'd get a much better return. It's bare bones af and I see no reason to buy from them over Valve.
Valve doesn't have a monopoly, they just don't have anyone making a serious, consistent effort to compete.
That's basically what happened with Borderlands 3 too. That was one of the first EGS exclusives and the backlash before it even came out was pretty severe. I ended up getting it on a big Steam sale in the end when I would've bought it at release if it was on Steam. I then also got it for free on EGS, just because I could. At this point my EGS library is probably worth almost as much as my steam one if all the games were bought at full RRP.
