Epic Game Store tops $1 Billion USD in 2024

I like to poke frequently fun at the Epic Game Store, and for good
reason. It's not a very good store, its heavily dependent on Fortnite
financing, and its client is trash. Still, I'm all for competition in
the market, and --sad as EGS is-- it's still the biggest threat facing
Valve in PC gaming.

So it's with an ambiguous amount of cheer that I read that EGS made
over $1 billion in PC games revenue in 2024. Now, of course, this
pales in comparison to the estimated $10 billion Valve made over the
same year, as does Epic's 295 million total users (Valve hasn't
released total user counts, but it's monthly ACTIVE users is 132
million). So Epic still has a way to go before it achieves it's
self-proclaimed goal of toppling the 'monopolist' Valve.

Now maybe they good finally spend some of that income on making their
client not shit?
