    Until epic actually has a store that is profitable and self sustaining all of it means nothing, since without fortnite cash flow it would have closed. And even with fortnite cash their features are still lacking that it makes you wonder how even more bare bones the launcher would be without fortnite money. They can’t even afford to justify putting resources to Linux anticheat support for fortnite for example.

    They don’t curently have a working business money that proves their percentage can actually bring in money to provide a feature rich launcher, and fund other projects in the process if Fortnite didn’t exist. It’s like the equivalent right now of some rich kid being given some antique store to run nobody goes to so their parents can brag that their kid is a business owner.
