As much as I enjoy dissing Epic Game Store (and I really, /really/
enjoy that), they do have a lot of premium games... including some
exclusives you can't find anywhere else (which is its own problem).
Pretty much all the big-name titles you get on Steam are available on
EGS too, both triple-A and smaller independent games. "Kingdom Come
Deliverance 2", "Civilization VII", "Star Wars Outlaws", "Mechwarrior
5", "Frostpunk 2", "Dragon Age: Veilguard", "SpiderMan 2", "Assassins
Creed Whatever"... it's there.

I did not know that. I thought they were only Epic games there. 

There's surprisingly few of those, actually. No, really. A lot of
Epic's back-catalog (including _all_ the Unreal games, Gears of War,
Jazz Jackrabbit, Epic Pinball) just isn't on their own gamestore. Even
more weird, some of those games /are/ available on GOG and Steam. It's
a perfect opportunity for exclusives... and Epic can't even get that
right.

There's a reason I constantly poke fun at EGS.
