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

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.

Yeah, my daughter broke it to me. I remember my friends (back in the day) telling me the problems they were having getting their kids off it and I hadn’t heard much since.. apparently one of my daughters friends is waiting for a catwoman skin to come back

A brainrot game with ingame purchases won against megacorps, because they didnt allow the brainrot to have their own brainrot in-game purhases.

Millions of people still play Fortnite daily. Over a million concurrent on some days.

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.

It was always about the game. What you just described was just their argument to win in court. All Epic cares about is their own profit margins and control over distribution. That the ruling might be a net positive for others is incidental.
