How much profit has Epic made with the EGS so far? Oh, still in the red after five years? Not a single Cent of profit.
Sounds more like desperate attempt at getting money to not go under.

Why are people reapting this dumb line?
They pump money from other lines of buisness into it to help it grow. That is not uncommon. The store IS profitable. It made 800+ million last year. No, it doesn't take billions to run it.

That is absolutely no different to Valve investing into hardware. The only difference: we don't know their numbers. You have money, you invest it into your business to grow instead of putting it into a savings account, pay taxes on it and have it devalued by inflation.

Why do you think companies like Amazon report zero profits with billions of revenue?

The chef of Epic Games Store said it himself. Not a single Cent of profit yet. They are still working on growing.
Without Fortnite, they'd have gone under already.

After five years, they are still not making any money and still bleeding it like crazy.

Yes, because they calculate the store revenue against the money pumped into it. Scratch the later and *gasp* the store is profitable.
Not exactly hard to understand.
They are not "bleeding like crazy", they deliberately invest their profits from other sources into that area.

"Without Fortnite, they'd have gone under already" ...
... who? Epic Games? The reason they could do Fortnite was because of their engine royalties. And what is that even supposed to be an argument for? Without CounterStrike Steam wouldn't be what is today. Unsurprisingly enough a lot of companies base their success largely on one or two products.

"Sure, if you look at all the money they poured into generating interest in the store compared to how much money the store made, then the lost a ton of money. But if you ONLY look at the store's revenue, then that's all profit, right?"
