Key statement here - "operating at a loss". Interest rates are climbing and cheap capital is a thing of the past now. They need to become profitable. If they don't, the Epic Store and all those libraries of free games might just disappear.

Any one company is at risk of this as well, but Valve has been doing this for a long time, so they've built trust.

I remember a comment on reddit years ago where someone was saying they'd rather buy a game on stadia than geforce now, because hey, it's not like google is going anywhere, right?

I tried to warn them.
