I wouldn't say that's true. A gaming brand like 100 Thieves has access to the same sources of revenue as any traditional sports team. They can sell merchandise and tickets to fans (or collect fees from other entities that do so on the back of their brand), and they can sell visibility to sponsors. They've got a viable business model even if it's not as expansive a business as they want to believe.
That'd be like saying a lemonade stand has the same sources of revenue as Coke. A dependable or dependent customer base is part of a viable business model. Without a customer base you don't have a business, you just have unpaid expenses.
This crap? This couldn't make money if they tried. This is somebody's loss leader, just like newspapers are. The question is to what purpose.
