Why don’t Apple and Google and a group of like-minded firms develop Fortnite? You have a limited number of resources (employees, money, executive oversight, time) and it is better to spend that perfecting what is already in your business than pivoting to an entirely new industry. Developing a smartphone is incredibly difficult with a very high barrier to entry for something that could actually compete in the marketplace. Who provides connectivity, CPU, GPU, cellular, OS, display, camera, audio, video, etc? This would be very significant effort for a game developer to get into.
