If you look at it from the point of the view of the game creator, Epic is better - they take smaller cut and they will outright give you money for exclusivity.

This might not seem necessarilty better for the players, but considering how many smaller game studios / creators are on the verge of profitability, this might mean we get to play games we wouldn't otherwise.

They should try pushing that angle a lot harder I think. I wasn't aware of it (I've only used their store for some of the weekly free games).

Most of the pushback seems to be because everyone is fine with Steam, yet another store seems unnecessary, and it smells a lot like a rich company buying their way into our hearts (exclusives from all that Fortnite money). I think that's why it doesn't sit too well.
