How long can they keep giving away free games when their store has never made a profit?

…ever heard of a little thing called Fortnite? I hear it makes a tiny bit of cash money for them.

Sadly people are losing sight that this is a strategy by a capitalist company to entice users onto their service.

Nothing good will come from that.

I mean, I hate playing with internet randos anyway, so that’s not actually a downside for me.

As long as it takes for them to build a userbase. They can afford giving away games constantly until users start using the store for real.
