    Steam: Good featureset, good Linux support, large library, probably going to be around in 10 years.

    GOG: Offline installers, some explicitly DRM-free stuff.

    Matrix: Specialized niche wargaming stuff, some physical media.

    What does Epic bring to the table?

        Matrix Games. They’re a publisher that specialize in wargames that I frequent to get some of my more-serious milsims from (though availability has improved on Steam). They also run an online store. The above three stores are the only places that I’ve bought video games for a long time. Well…tries to remember actually, I did get a few things on itch.io, and IIRC I bought Starsector directly from the company that makes that.
