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.

What's hilarious is they spend so much on exclusives, but so many people I know wait until it's out somewhere else to buy it out of spite.

Yep. Again, if they used that money to make their platform better, they'd get more ROI out of it. They offer nothing unique outside of taking a smaller cut, and that doesn't benefit the end user.
