I think this has the potential to be a huge shift if enough developers build games targeting Fortnite players. There's an ecosystem right there to be tapped into, and Epic just happens to be giving you the tools to do it.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoAnd developers who launch on the Epic Store get much better placement than the average Steam listing, and free promotion by Epic's social accounts. At least right now, even before the financial incentives, there's a lot of perks for a new developer to become "heard of" from Epic.
- scollet 6y agoI'm not following this comment. Is it because the intersectionality of players includes lower-income people, children, and those struggling with addiction?
- wastedhours 6y agoI'm not following your response. My comment was in relation to a highly engaged, key target demographic audience who have an Epic account and they've just handed indie devs around the world much easier access to that audience. No idea what point you're making, though it seems loaded against Fortnite?
- scollet 6y agoI can see the platform being a shared space between developers as a great benefit to indies. I wouldn't describe Fortnite players as engaged any more than I would describe a gambling den habitant as engaged. In this case the latter is less predatory. It's my prerogative that any time Fortnite is mentioned, it should be reminded that while it is a great profit model, it is also a depressing moral failure.
- scollet 6y agoMy confusion stemmed from this stigma and why, specifically, Fortnite players are an interesting audience to indies.
