Yeah but how long can you add stuff to it until the margins dont make sense? How many salaries have gone up due to the success that werent being paid in the beginning? What competition do they have now that they didn’t have when they basically popularized the genre? How much does it cost to frankenstein it into a roblox platform? All things to consider when thinking of the future of Fortnite. I dont think its failing by any means, but I am seeing bloat creep.

I’m sure inflation has eaten into their margins, including salaries (though they’ve done layoffs in the intervening years, so who knows), and I’m sure the game is not at the height of its popularity and spending anymore. That said, they’re raising prices because they’re confident they can get away with them, not because they’re in dire straits.

I’m sure they’ll be around for a decade or more. I think all the collabs they do are a cool thing, I just hate the game so I’d never play it. Also, phantasy star online did concerts first in 2013.
