Epic Games has made a massive 3 BILLION profit on the incredibly successful multi-player online game, Fortnite!!

Fortnite is free but it makes money by selling a $10 seasonal battle pass and digital items such as clothes, weapons, dances and reactions for players..and it made it in just ONE YEAR!!

It racked up 125 million players, a majority of whom spend money on the game..

Iphone users spent 1.23 million every day which means the game made nearly 40 million a month from iPhone users.

It also had success on consoles and pc, android and ios as Epic now has a value of 15 BILLION

It's investors, KKR, Kleiner Perkins and Lightspeed cashing in on a 1.25 billion slice of the company.

It was founded in 1991 and they haven't given revenues for the game but the massive profit suggests the games' success.

Are you playing Fortnite?

Haven't played it. Not going to say I never will, but it is highly likely I won't. Just not the kind of game that interests me.

Play for free just to keep my skills up (will probably drift back to BF or Doom or whatever one of these days). Building is stupid so I don't bother with that part.

I'm glad this is doing better than CoD and appreciate money NOT going to Act. My question is how many stupid people are there to spend that kind of money on cosmetic crap?

Here's hoping we get a new UT someday. If there's one game that needs a remake it's UT99, not the later stuff.

If coming in first doesn't involve me bathing in the blood of my enemies and using their entrails as a shawl, then what is the point of fighting in the first place?

Tried it out and it wasn't a very good game. Everything felt really clunky and poor overall. Played at least 2 more games to give it another chance and it did nothing for me so I uninstalled it immediately from my PS4. There are so many better games out there.

If you make an intelligent post, people tend to ignore it because they only respond to stupid. Don't believe me? Just look at most of the chained replies.

Y'all need to give it another try. Way better than it was when it first came out.

I definitely enjoy playing other games more (rdr2 right now), but no other game gives you that rush when it's just you vs 1 other person for the W.

"Other battle Royale games do"

Maybe, but you can't build/destroy stuff so it's not the same at all. Fortnite adds a new level of skill with the building.

I've probably spent about $20 on v bucks and $25 on the save the world part.

If you collect the in game currency it pays for itself. The challenges are what I play for since it doesn't record stats other than your overall wins. Besides, since I don't build and see often see people building freaking hotels it's funny to watch them fall. It's a shooter not Minecraft.

i tried it, was kind of fun, ok?

i get it, and i get why it caught fire this year, but as an older guy, the obnoxiousness of the users repel me from ever trying it again, ok?

Besides any other game where you can find yourself in a 1v1 situation?

I prefer the rush of being #1 in life. But go ahead and keep chasing that fortnite dragon if that's what you consider an meaningful accomplishment.

When I saw the reveal it looked kinda neat. Then it sorta gave me the impression of 'tower defense' which I hate. Now I've never played the SP mode so maybe that's what they were showing. Anyway because of that I skipped on buying the original disc version and after seeing the current prices I kinda wish I did. Oh well, you can't guess everything.
