Needs some qualification.

EGS is not profitable as they are spending like crazy to try and gain users. But the EGS is not where Epic makes its money, that’s Fortnite for now.

The 12% is still more then enough to profitably be a platform middleman because it costs very very little and is basically pure profit to stay the course.
