This is a worthy video on the subject of Fortnite's successful, and altogether addictive, design: https://youtu.be/tqG74aI9t3Q https://youtu.be/tqG74aI9t3Q

  interesting. And they dont even mention that some online influencers are taking sponsorship money to randomly pop into a game and donate thousands of dollars to the winner. I am not sure where the motivation comes from, but it surely generates some uncertainty and reward for playing. https://m.youtube.com/results?search_query=donating+money+to+fortnite+streamers+if+they+win https://m.youtube.com/results?search_query=donating+money+to...

  I haven’t played fortnite so take my comment for what it is worth. Isn’t fortnite not as resource intensive as other games? Which makes it possible that more and more people have it? I remember when I played bf3 and bf4, the three points mentioned in the video still apply. I guess he does mention the scale and amazon web services in the video to allude to the amount of people playing I guess.

    yeah w bf3 and bf4 even as a novice you were still likely to get 5-10 kills with a death count possibly in the high double digits, but you valued those kills anyway because it was so easy to get back into the game. I've been playing fortnite fairly regularly over the past year, but that video is making me consider uninstalling. I'm not that good and I do waste way too much time on it...

    Fortnite runs pretty well, not as good as CS:GO on bad hardware but better than (say) siege.
