Ok after reading more into it, It seems this in no way effects "Discount" Prices. So the is nothing stopping Epic or another developer from having a permanent Discount on their games on the Epic store if they wished to have them at a lower price and take advantage of that less then 30% cut epic takes. That agreement is more about protecting Valve from developers who might "Rise" the price on steam to make up for the 30% cut Valve take.

IIRC some countries have laws in place that require an item to have been on sale for the regular price for a certain amount of time before it's allowed to be discounted from that price. So there is still something stopping them from doing it that way.

Also, @bold than*

Oh crap Ka-pi96 as turned into a grammar nazi, he must be an awfully bored masochist to correct this sites spelling, even spellcheck is frightened of VGChartz.
