I mean, it’s trying to compete against Steam. A platform which has 99% of the games ever released on PC after its inception at the same price and with a great interface.

You’re not winning against that unless you actually sell the same games at a lower price (and I don’t think they can afford to do that)

That's really sad. I like Unreal Engine a lot, I hope it doesn't suffer from this.

Do you guys think e.g. YouTube or redshit is profitable despite of what they say and without "profit" that's pumped in by investors or mother companies?
it's just a business,
They get market share by loosing profit then once they are establish enough so most people won't leave if they change things and they change things and start to make profit.
At least that's the plan.

I wonder if GOG is profitable?

The only time I paid for anything on epic was Kingdom Hearts and that's only because I've wanted a PC Version for 20 years

I'm still holding out for a Steam release. I refuse to play it elsewhere.

I was upset when Epic acquired Rocket League and drove it into the ground, and then I was pissed when Epic paid for exclusivity on ubisoft games. I bought one game on Epic game stores app two years ago and have since claimed every free game they offer every week whether I care to play it or not. I have also repurchased that game on Steam, so literally the only time I even open epic games is to claim the weekly free game and cost them money.
