    EGS losing money has been great for gamers, as they continue to give away free games in an attempt to claw any marketshare. Gamers continue to win as long as this situation lasts. But reading these comments, nobody seems to recognize this.

      Gamers lose when the store shuts down and you lose access to all of the games you got for free, or worse actually paid for.

      Consumers also won when a Walmart would open up in their neighborhood and run the local stores out of business by selling everything at a loss.

      Of course, once the competition was eliminated, Walmart stopped selling things at a loss.
