This is silly. The Epic Store has been spending for growth since it started. It would be absurd for it to be profitable before they scale that back.

But I suppose saying "we have to do layoffs because running a game store is hard" sounds a lot better than "oops we accidentally spent all the fortnight money."

@TadPatterson I wonder what the ratio is between people who actually buy things on the EGS vs. people who only ever launch it to claim the giveaways they're constantly doing.
