It feels like Fortnite as a franchise is dying, but this is a really cool set of tools.

Not sure who the intended audience is, though.


I've been hearing "Fortnite is dying" for years now and it reverberated around many other games as well like World of Warcraft. What does "dying" mean in terms of video games, is it significant drops of player numbers and if so, where is the proof? Perhaps it's that slowly overtime players have left, potentially, but how many?

Yes Fortnite doesn't have the craze that it had before, but it was absolutely massive, but that doesn't mean its dying.

Afterall, the latest Chapter has given us the newest version of the Unreal engine which does look Unreal and we got it for free without buying a new game. Which IMO grants more attention.


Why does it feel that way to you? It may not have the media attention anymore but it's still generating billions.

It's a better-looking, more advanced alternative to Roblox, which is sustained by its community of creators.
