Fortnite is 9 years old this year. Epic brought in biblical amounts of money from just this one property over this time. Where and how did they spend this money

  Let's see... - Millions spent rushing out huge amounts of Fortnite content at a breakneck pace - Millions spent organizing, designing and marketing 5 new Fortnite collabs every week - Millions spent trying to wrangle Fortnite's spaghetti codebase as it crumbles under more than a decade of tech debt - Millions spent trying and failing to keep the content pipeline flowing at a constant speed despite the tech debt - Millions spent developing a failed Roblox competitor inside Fortnite - Millions spent paying people to create awful AI generated games in their failed Roblox competitor - Millions spent developing their own "metaverse" of brand-focused modes that nobody plays in their failed Roblox competitor - Millions spent developing a failed Steam competitor - Millions spent paying off developers to release their games exclusively on their failed Steam competitor - Millions spent giving away free games every week on their failed Steam competitor - Millions spent lining executives' pockets It's really not hard to see where all that money is going.
