Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite and the Epic Games Store, has admitted in court that their digital PC game store is not profitable. Despite its growth and the addition of features and exclusive titles, the store has struggled financially. The company had previously argued that the losses incurred, over $300 million, were part of a strategic plan to expand the store's user base and business. However, as 2023 arrived, it became evident that Epic's strategy had not resulted in profitability. In September, the company laid off 830 employees, approximately 16% of its workforce, citing financial difficulties.
