I mean, it’s trying to compete against Steam. A platform which has 99% of the games ever released on PC after its inception at the same price and with a great interface.

You’re not winning against that unless you actually sell the same games at a lower price (and I don’t think they can afford to do that)

Do you guys think e.g. YouTube or redshit is profitable despite of what they say and without "profit" that's pumped in by investors or mother companies?
it's just a business,
They get market share by loosing profit then once they are establish enough so most people won't leave if they change things and they change things and start to make profit.
At least that's the plan.

I wonder if GOG is profitable?
