      Sure, a lot of this is likely funded by Fortnite

      If it needs to be subsidized by Fortnite then it’s by definition not profitable

          Them giving away a ton of money does not mean the distribution alone isn’t profitable.

              You seem to not understand what “profit” means.

                  I very clearly do. Them giving away a bunch of money that isn’t required has nothing to do with their distribution service not making a profit. Valve doesn’t do this, so it obviously is not required to run a games distribution service. That’s the part that’s subsidized by Fortnite, not the distribution. The distribution is pretty cheap. All it requires is having servers that can store the files and an internet connection.
