This isn't remotely the same thing as Microsoft buying (limited) exclusivity to a game like Rise of the Tomb Raider to the exclusion of the PS4 platform. In the PC space, the consumer's ability to buy and play the games at MSRP are not harmed in the slightest by EGS.

Yeah, you really have no idea what you're talking about here. Lots of storefronts offer games at below MSRP because they're actually competing with each other. If a storefront goes out and buys exclusivity you only have one place to buy it from and there is no incentive for them to offer anything less than MSRP. Add in the fact that the EGS had no regional pricing, and as far as I know, still doesn't for Canadians means that here in Canada we're paying more for the same product. Plus Epic is nice enough to pass along transaction fees to their users unlike literally every other store and launcher service.
