I don't understand. You think Steam exists without Half Life and Counterstrike?

  Nowadays? Yes

    Of course now it does, but it was bootstrapped off the back of commercial success. The parent poster was suggesting Epic could only finance a game store off the commercial success of Fortnite. Which seemed to be the exact same path Valve took, so I was curious to explore why the parent felt they were different.

      Difference is that Valve made a platform to support their own products. And run it fiscally responsibly from start. Where as well Epic is dumping. Trying to gain market share by giving out free stuff and possibly undercharging. Now thinking whole license model for their engine might also be harmful for any bigger competing engines...

  I don’t believe what you are asking, nor do I claim to. Claiming one thing does not automatically exclude all other causes.
