Doesn't need to be profitable, when they're just rolling around in Fortnite money wondering what to spend it on.

then why they layoff like 10% of their staff recently?

Because they're greedy?

Well they're not gonna cut top salaries, can't have any of that, it's bad for business!! Imagine being able to only afford one yacht instead of your standard three! Gotta let those lackeys at the bottom of the pyramid go, what're they even holding up, anyway? The foundation of the company? Surely not.

because profit + 10% of salary > profit

Only way epic can compete, even with bloody ubisoft launcher, is to remove competition. Improving their store just isnt part of their business plan, if it was they would do it.

I had epic game store before they started blasting free games for unreal tournament. That was a fun alpha and was excited to see what it was going to evolve into. Guess not now lol
