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.

Ok well people spend money on Fortnite and we get free games, that's a good deal.

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.

Why its being provided to me for free and completely legally?

Exactly, it’s the most ethical piracy.
