The biggest PC games aren’t on Steam. Minecraft isn’t, Fortnite isn’t, Roblox isn’t. Because of Fortnite alone, the installed base of EGS is massive, the people just choose to buy their non-Epic games somewhere else.

Two F2P games? Most sales happen on Steam, except those few rare examples.

I literally already wrote that.
Those “rare examples” combine to a massive revenue. In case of EGS and Fortnite, it’s very clear that EGS is installed and actively used on a giant number of PCs, so the installed base is there. It’s not a Steam monopoly if the user base signed up to and uses EGS for Fortnine and such.
