I'm no fan of Epic, but I think you're being a tad unfair here. Games have their own internal economy, it's more about the games than the platform. Outer Worlds and Ghostwire: Tokyo were both also in the Humble Monthly bundles. Both games also regularly drop to around $15, so they're hardly the most expensive games.
You have to take the sale pattern of the game in question into account. It would be like saying an Eidos game is expensive; technically they're still full price games, but they often hit the $2-$5 range pretty quickly. Another example, Ghostwire: Tokyo is technically a $60 game. In practicality, it's less expensive than RimWorld, which is a $35 game which rarely goes on sale, and never goes on deep sale.
Speaking of, RimWorld is on a slight sale right now, so if anyone doesn't have it, get on it. Not sure how this became a RimWorld shilling post...but it did! Merry Christmas!
Seconding Rimworld. I picked up up this holiday season and it's right up there with Factorio in terms of games from a small dev team that are worth every penny and skull fuck everything else the AAA industry has put out in the last decade.

Up-vote because rimworld.
Solid game. 10/10.
Mod all the current day shit you don't like and either throw it into an oven, nuke it; or turn it into a hat.
Cook the invaders, then sell the survivors' organs. RimWorld is hilariously brutal, and the procedural generation just makes things even more amazing.
