Nik Epic Games founder coded the game in his mothers basement that I read and now he's a rich person living the dream. Game is fun to play but it can get really annoying at times. I'm happy for the business honestly. They've keep updating the games updating us as players what they updated which notes to reach on their website.

Want to make it more impressive? After fortnite: save the world was released, it only took TWO MONTHS for them to create and release Battle Royale and they have been constantly tuning it, updating it, and getting the community involved in the making ever since.

This was expected tbh, the biggest game of the year imo and still will be hugely popular going into 2019.

I get people hating on Fortnite for various reasons, you're allowed to have your own opinion, but you can't knock how amazing of a year fortnite has had and what they have done for gaming as a whole. I consider this to be the first game to take over the world tbh and I don't even play anymore.

My friend texted me before about this, honestly it's insane / cool to see a F2P game make that much. Time to see what happens in 2019 now lol.
