and then required prices be 5% lower than MSRP on other stores

That's something that Steam doesn't allow, which means the only way to have lower prices is for Epic to pay for an exclusivity deal. Because who's going to move to Epic if the only way is to lose out on Steam?

From my understanding, thats only for selling Steam Keys. As long as you're not using Steam's infrastructure, you're fine. You often can find better prices off Steam as it is, on platforns like Epic, GOG or esspecially Itch.io.
