Well, on Epic Games Store most use it to access Fortnite. And for everyone else, Epic also has lot of giveaways of AAA games. Don't know if they still do it, but that trains people not to buy too much games I suppose. This is a sideeffect of Epics plan. Why would they do it? This way people build a library and cannot afford to abandon Epic anymore. Maybe that changes in the future, but right now the Epic Store is like a graveyard where games go to die. (I'm just exaggerating for the lolz, don't kill me.)
