Reply to comment by linklolthe3 in [OC] World's 10 most valuable startups by jtsg_

Apparently they are estimated at 10 billion in 2019 which seems kinda low for a company that has a virtual monopoly on the PC platform.

My guess is that epic games gets most of their value from licensing their engine.

The reason valve has a monopoly is that they continue to give a value for money service even after being the "monopoly" of PC platform. And now they even have steam deck.

PC gaming sadly just doesn't really have that huge of a market cap. It's all console and, dreadfully, mobile gaming that runs the world now.
