"When you charge money for something you can produce infinitely at zero cost, that is not a service. That is the death of economics as a concept." -Yahtzee
Last I heard they give them a lump sum to give the game out for free; it's the same model as new games coming out- they offer a fortune to developers to make their games EGS exclusive or have a delayed release on other storefronts.
I don't think they've made an official profit from the store sales yet. Who know how much they've made from selling data though.
Nothing is free. At the frequency that they drop "free" games it should make anyone think about what they're actually getting out of it.
If you're not paying for a product. Then you're most likely the product being sold.
