“As you can see, a whole bunch of people joined our service, downloaded games we paid literally millions for from our servers and didn’t give us money” isn’t a good pitch.
Fooling investors into thinking people will just start paying them for a worse experience than you can get on Steam is funny but even they should realize once they look at the financials.

Not worth me being a statistic that they can sell to investors imo. Fuck Epic.
Besides, that game’s been on sale for less than $5 on Steam.

It’s not, no. Would you imagine they would pitch free players as potential future customers?
It is the only reason I have epic installed. Not planning to buy anything but they got their foot in the door
