Keep in mind that for each game they sell they have to share the earnings with the developer&publisher of said game.
So having more money that does not have to be shared with others makes things easier.
If it is a monthly income, it makes it easier to plan how much they can spent on IP and staff and infrastructure. It isn't a bad idea.

Heroic has Amazon Game support. It isn't a store where you can buy specific games but subscribers of amazon prime get new games every month.

The game SourceCode is nice, but raw assets and tools for servers, level editors and documentation is also worth saving and publishing so you don't have to reverse engineer the game.
