I do find it interesting that as hard as Epic has been pushing Fortnite as a platform, it doesn’t seem to have really paid off for them yet. Obviously player counts aren’t everything, but the number of people playing the user-created experiences (or Epic’s other gamemodes like the Lego and Rock Band stuff) pale in comparison to the playercounts on the main battle royale modes. With a few exceptions the user created levels that *do* have consistently large playerbases tend to be extensions of the core shooter gameplay (i.e equivalents to FFA deathmatch servers in old-school shooters). This move is certainly them trying to get more people developing games for Fortnite, but I’m very curious how they’re planning to get the Roblox audience to follow after losing the phone/tablet demographic to them for so long. (though surely kpop demon hunters will help in the short-term lol)
Its interesting you got a response actually from Sweeney and not just Epic PR.
I don't think we need more things like roblox in the world though.
