Last time I checked, Epic Games has plenty of money to compete. Monopoly implies competition is actively being stopped. Valve hasn't done much to stop competition other than making a good product that people use.

No it doesn't. Anticompetittive behaviour is a seperate issue. One often imployed by monopolists, but seperate nonetheless.

Epic Games also takes 5% of all games that use the Unreal engine, unless you use the Epic store.
