Eh, I don't know. I think they've got a lot of positive momentum. I would bet generously on their future.
* I despise fortnite. I don't know if it has longevity. But it's pretty damn ambitious and is closer to the metaverse than anyone has gotten in a frustrating sort of way
* Unreal Engine is getting better by the day, is very dev friendly, and is likely going to grow in popularity as some of it's neat-o UE5 features take yet another chunk out of the pain of game dev for indies. Unity feels like takes one step forward, one step back every update.
* Their app store has been on a roll lately with lots of games for free that I actually want to play(Civ 6, Overcooked, Total War Troy, Killing Floor 2, Torchlight, 20xx, Remnant, Enter the Gungeon). I've basically switched all of my attention from Steam to Epic and would probably purchase from there over steam if a game were available on both for the same price. The UI is worse, the networking client is worse, and the store pages are less informative; however I find their library of games to feel relatively well curated whereas steam has pages of crap that you need to sift through to find anything.
- r00fus 6y agoWhat do you mean that FN is closer to the "metaverse"?
- klmadfejno 6y agoMetaverse as described in Neal Stephenson's "Snowcrash" which was one of the first novels to describe a multiplayer VR world. Fun book. By closer I mean it's developing this weird culture as a place to just hang out in besides just playing rounds of the games. People watch movies and concerts and what not in the game. It has a higher level evolving plot line and culture. Like second life but mainstream; social media in video game form.
