      They probably saw how much money Roblox makes and that public opinion is (finally) starting to turn on Roblox. They want that pie

        Yeah a slippery slope if children start making content and not paid enough

          Children, paid?

          Sentence that makes the capitalists blood boil - because why pay them a fair share when they can work for free, while basically sustaining their services.

          Lol. That’s got nothing to do with it. The adults stalking kids is what’s up.

      it’s not actually fortnite, they now have a roblox-like game mode browser where players could create games in an editor.

        But you launch Fortnite to access it on every platform. There isn’t an “Epic UGC” app. So this is what Fortnite has become. An umbrella for experiences that include Battle Royal, Zero Build, Concerts, etc.
