I would wager the free games have been a net positive to their bottom line in terms of customer acquisition. Most games are not big ticket items, and the ones that are are usually out of a push to sell new DLC or a new sequel. I’m guessing it’s not that expensive.

I buy everything off of EGS if I can because of it, even though the EGS is trash
