Imagine spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a digital storefront that just up and vanishes. What then? Does Epic have any contingency for heavily invested customers? Do they dare leave internet DRM intact on games that people literally cannot verify after a certain date? Do those people just pirate everything they've lost?
Nah, they have a couple cash cows. Fortnite and don't forget they recently bought Rocket League, which has gone F2p and is turning into a TF2-esque hat simulator.
Those two markets alone will probably make them profitable.
What WILL kill EGS though, is if Fortnite gets replaced by some other F2P shitgame. Which will most likely happen. When that source of money dries up the EGS is done for.
Probably... I used it to download Batman Arkham Knight DLC, and transfered it to my steam copy :P -- That's as far as I went to downloading or using one of their free games.
It's going to go under before I play a single of one my free games, isn't it?
