They did that years after it was released. I’m pretty sure they’ve been unprofitable for longer than that and it’s more likely that it’s because they’re forcing their bullshit on users.
Yes, but also remember that the game's price (on Steam) hasn't lowered that much in comparison to other games the same age.
And more importantly, because of GTA Online, GTA V is now a +100GB game. That isn't very friendly to Epic's servers and bandwidth.
