I want to sell dance moves in Fortnight, but Epic's walled Fortnight garden prevents me from doing so. It's outrageous that Epic isn't opening Fortnight up and allowing all of us to sell costumes.
This is a perfect argument in Apple's favor. Epic has created their own ecosystem with Fortnite. Do they allow their users to create their own content such as skins and animations? What if I want to sell them to other FN players? Can I let players buy my custom content using my own payment system? I could easily see how the monopoly argument could be turned right around against Epic.
How does this even make sense? They have no social media experience or, to my knowledge, any experience with any public-facing application. They also have a long history of mismanaging companies. I am perpetually shocked Oracle is not bankrupt. I know Oracle RDBMS is insanely expensive, but still, how much can you milk from that cow?
Didn't we see this exact scenario on Silicon Valley? Isn't a third of their user base supposed to be 14 year old and under kids? I say TikTok should take the money and run!
