    Yeah, people need to start reading past the headline.

    He’s not complaining, he’s bragging.

    His point is that people aren’t buying Sony’s big, expensive games, they’re playing Fortnite.

      Yea, did he mention all the other successful epic games? No. There aren’t any. Or they’re dying.

      Gotta read between the lines.

        He did. Fortnite actually grew this year and hit 110 million monthly active users, according to him.

        Fortnite isn’t dying, it’s killing everything else by absorbing the rest of gaming into itself like an alien blob. I don’t like it, but it’s happening and that’s what he’s talking about.

            Fortnite is all the Epic games. As in, there is a kart racing game, a survival Lego-licensed game and a Harmonix rhythm game in there, besides the bunch of shooters.

            It’s a weird store-ception thing, but at this point if Epic is going to make a new game they won’t put it as a stand-alone thing in the Epic store, they’ll put it inside Fortnite. And it’s working, which is… kinda scary.
