Interesting facts/stats from the gaming world 2017-2018

Some people were buying two just to keep one in their pants at all times.

I hate that I just can't play it on my PS4.

my interesting fact is epic invested 100m into 'fortnite esports' tournaments

a)battle royal isnt an esport so thats a large investment into an unknown

b) the rng aspect of loot would be an issue for competitive, potentially. not a big issue but interesting to note. altho im not entirely familiar with the loot system

c)how the frick do they have that much cash to dump into this from a "free game"

if this game catches traction in china, my god the money they will rake in.

im not hating, i buy skins on free games too, just the sheer $$ is staggering to me.

Was watching a video on The Know in the last couple of days and they said that Fortnite brings in 200 million a month in revenue so 100 million for esports is not even really a drop in the bucket to them.

millions of teenie boppers that have 30+ skins they bought at $10-$20 each.

I’m 27 and buy $25 worth of vbucks somewhat regularly depending on if something I want is sold.

I’ve probably spent $150 over the 5-6 months I’ve been playing the game. It’s not just kids, and some people are spending far more than that.

I will say that the game is starting to get a bit bland. The constant building is becoming old and gun skill is much less important than it was a few months ago. Just something that is expected though in a game with a building mode like this game has.

This is a funny video that chronicles the fall of Cliff Bleszinski and Lawbreakers

it's pretty good.

PUBG is responsible for that, not Fortnight
