      It’s not people taking free games, it’s that the free games aren’t working. People have told me for years about all the free games they give away and I and everyone else I know still refuse to even download the app much less download free games because of their bullshit.

      They did that years after it was released. I’m pretty sure they’ve been unprofitable for longer than that and it’s more likely that it’s because they’re forcing their bullshit on users.

        Yes, but also remember that the game’s price (on Steam) hasn’t lowered that much in comparison to other games the same age.

        And more importantly, because of GTA Online, GTA V is now a +100GB game. That isn’t very friendly to Epic’s servers and bandwidth.
