I’m talking a social media platform. Video games are fundamentally different because the goal is to get a small number of highly engaged users. Social media drives value from having huge networks of large numbers of people.
There are people who spend 10 hours a day playing Fortnite, and are perfectly willing to spend gobs of money to make that experience better. There aren’t the same sort of “whales” in social media.

Video games are not fundamentally different here, I think you might be looking through the wrong end of the telescope. People who use a thing paying money for more features of that thing.
