Doesn't need to be profitable, when they're just rolling around in Fortnite money wondering what to spend it on.

[–] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (5 children)

then why they layoff like 10% of their staff recently?

[–] Jok3r@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Because they're greedy?

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

because profit + 10% of salary > profit

[–] kryllic@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

Well they're not gonna cut top salaries, can't have any of that, it's bad for business!! Imagine being able to only afford one yacht instead of your standard three! Gotta let those lackeys at the bottom of the pyramid go, what're they even holding up, anyway? The foundation of the company? Surely not.

Whether its games stores or streaming services, the media seems to constantly miss the obvious, lack of accounted profits means no tax to pay.....

Only way epic can compete, even with bloody ubisoft launcher, is to remove competition. Improving their store just isnt part of their business plan, if it was they would do it.

I had epic game store before they started blasting free games for unreal tournament. That was a fun alpha and was excited to see what it was going to evolve into. Guess not now lol

Well yeah, of course it isn't profitable, when it's damn near malicious in how they treat their customers it's not surprising.
