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

        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.
