Fortnite

So Epic is seeing...

They're jealous of Roblox because Roblox has all these kids who are making user levels, and they wanna do that with Fortnite.

And Roblox is jealous of Epic because they have their traditional storefront, and also you have Unreal that can ship onto all these different platforms.

And they all wanna be the thing that does it all without seeming to realize they're able to do their part of it well because they're not having to answer the questions that the other one has to.

... different.

It's, and it's, it...

I think actually what both Roblox and Fortnite may be concerned about, and I would be if I were them, is, and I've talked about this a bit recently, are people now treating individual friend slot games on Steam like a microtransaction? Because-

Yeah

My Life.

Fortnite Festival.

No, that's

me.

Yeah.

Uh, our next question, questions, comes from, uh, Turkey11, who asks a few different questions for us.

Mega Man, what is your favorite Fortnite collab ever?

My favorite Fortnite collab? Ooh.

So yeah, it was, but it was cool.

Like, um, again, it was, uh, it was a lot of fun, but then we got a chance to go to Fortnite and, um, We had two different experiences, me and you.

I went on September 3rd, so it's kind of the early stages of them.

They haven't really got into it yet.

They were doing the emotes or whatever they're called.

We have a picture with the bones dude with Sky and my mom.

Sky had a great time in the Fortnite area.

She even got a little Fortnite shirt.

She's taking home the first ever Artist Director Honor at this Sunday's MTV Music Video Awards.

While the world knows her for her music, this award recognizes her incredible visual storytelling behind the camera for massive hits like Antihero and Fortnite.

It's time to go viral on Dancing with the Stars tonight.

The stars will be pulling out their best tick tock moves to songs that broke the Internet for Viral Night.

Are

they going to play Fortnite together? What are you picturing here? What is she picturing? It's so weird.

You're not ready to be...

No, forget

So we can come up with, I think, a much more educated idea of how to surface content that we think people will like.

Are you then taking any approach like the way, probably not as extreme, but like the way that, for example, Unreal with the Fortnite Islands and things like that tend to pay out based off engagement.

They're looking at trying to incentivize engagement.

Obviously, they have the monetization going towards Fortnite as a whole.

So it makes sense from that.

But I mean, even just from like your own curation or other things, you have all those signals.

And as long as we have people who are coming back and playing, everything else will follow.

I suppose you also have like the ability to then use sand tokens and potentially even land as incentivization because it's one that does build towards your own retention, right? In theory, right? Obviously, assuming people don't just cash out whatever it is and then peace out.

i'm older and skill leveled

The competition has two gaming brackets, Fortnite and Super Smash Brothers.

The Fortnite winner is going to win a $100 GameStop gift card, and the Super Smash Brothers champion will get a $50 GameStop gift card.

So for all your gaming nerds, if you want to go to Montgomery on Friday, go enter in the competition.

You've got to enter by Thursday.

Yeah, it's going to be great.

That street's been closed for Fortnite.

For

16 years, yeah.

How long do you think a Fortnite is?

It's two weeks, correct? Look at you.

I'm not that dumb.

Evil corn?

Because they put a thing called Colonel Heart or something into Fortnite.

Yeah, Colonel Heart.

And it's
