A brainrot game with ingame purchases won against megacorps, because they didnt allow the brainrot to have their own brainrot in-game purhases.
The worst person you know just made a great point
It was never about the games. It’s about who can be the gatekeeper between the game devs and billions of people on the planet. That gatekeeping gig is a genuine racket: they charge 15% to 30% just for the privilege of distributing an app and hosting a bunch of servers for download. Yeah, there’s a lot to that, but is it really worth 30% of the top line? Not even the Credit Card companies, famous for screwing over small merchants, charge that much to process payments.
Fortnite has certainly showed them! They won in Australia, and their game that hardly anyone plays anymore is should be the shackles in 5 more years or so. Edit: my daughter reckons people still play it
hardly anyone plays anymore
Millions of people still play Fortnite daily. Over a million concurrent on some days.
Sum up Lemmy with one comment
and their game that hardly anyone plays anymore
Hate to break it but you only feel that way because you’re getting old. Fortnite is still massive for kids and teens, especially since they added a fortnite editor that allows you to make and play game modes ala roblox.
