    Unless these users have turned into paying customers, these guys are dumb as hell.

      fortnite is “free” and rakes in billions per year. i’m not “pro-epic,” but have definitely spent money on the game store, when they have sales combined with coupons

      all that to say: even if EGS never becomes profitable, epic isn’t going anywhere. people’s hatred of them notwithstanding

      edit: also remember epic owns unreal engine, so they’re making royalties from any game that uses the engine and makes over $1 million

      Going by the court documents from the Apple trial, that is their main metric. It is also something they highlighted during a recent GDC talk.
