Friendly advice

wow that's high, who knew people still watched golf?

Fortnite is trying to establish itself in the esports arena. You have to pay very high prize money if you want to attract companies to build up infrastructure in a field that could be gone in a year.

I very much doubt the championship actually brought in that kind of money

the game seems to be doing very well which I'm happy for they invest some of that money back into Unreal engine which I use

Im not so sure. There doesnt seem to be as much enthusiasm for Battle Royal Games anymore. I think we will see a new game in the next 1 or 1.5 years and a lot of people will leave Fortnite.

i'd bet the same

kids play fortnite because their peers do in class

the second the peers shift to something else, it all comes toppling down

Thats why they are trying to build up the e sports infrastructure now that investors still allow them to throw money around

its why Epic are investing so much they want to hold the attention for as long as possible before the next fad hits

but for now they're absolutely rolling in it

i bet theyre banking on the epic store to carry them after fortnite fades

like how valve did

and making money on the side from a whole lot of other games with the engine

pretty much

that too

dont think it will Travis

no?

the store

it'll take time

Steam wasn't built in a day

oh, you dont think it will succeed

they have been to aggressive and a lot of gamers hate them for that

idk either, but im guessing thats their game plan

i remember when steam first came out, a lot of gamers hated it too

steam version of games were shunned

ive been on steam since hl2 came out

steam isn't particularly relevent these days, it's just that thing everyone has
or maybe it's just me I rarely open it anymore

its relevant, just not to you lol

Im not saying its impossible, in the end it depends on how good the games at each store are

gamers are advocating for having only steam as a distribution system

does anyone even give a shit about the summer sale anymore?

tons

a lot wait to buy games until the steam sales

different circles I guess

yup

I rarely buy games outside steam sales
