What even is Fortnite anymore?

[–] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Epic is trying really hard at making a Roblox-like ecosystem out of Fortnite. They even have a half-stripped-down-but-with-extra-things version of the Unreal Engine (editor) to build games that are a part of this ecosystem.

There's a significant enough overlap between the Fortnite/Roblox playerbase that Epic thought they could make a decent amount of money by "poaching" the Roblox model and keeping it under their roof.

I did too and the racing is actually quite fun, but we don’t have to personally give Epic money to notice they are making bank off other people.
