Epic can only compete because they've few users and are willing to operate at a near loss

Bullshit. Epic's loses are in paying for exclusives and giving away games while ruining their PR.

Steam could operate at 15% if they wanted to. But... why would they do that?

Neither is publicly traded. Neither of us know the numbers.

Does Steam make money on hosting indie games?

How does one research such a question?

I don't need answers. I had them before I made my second post above.

Good luck to you.

I guess, according to you, it costs more to host files than it does to ship you a physical USB.

Maybe all these apps stores need to look into physical delivery in order to bring their costs down.
