When you buy a game on any launcher, you technically do not own the game (this is true for Epic Games and Steam). You own a license to the files and to run the game. Some games will check that this license exists (DRM among just needing to connect to a server). You cannot share or transfer this license, i.e you are the owner of the platform you and thereby you can only play on it.
Some games do not have DRM, thus there is no way to check that it bought through Steam or Epic Games. At this point, you just have the .exe (or .dmg) file and its assets, and you can still be able to play even if you don’t have Steam or Epic installed. Most games on Epic have DRM or an Internet requirement, so there’s no real way to bypass the method.
Do your research before buying and if you are not accustomed to buying online games from Steam or Epic Games, then buy physical copies of the game, and still, you can connect other accounts together.
