The creator economy in Fortnite has scaled to a $400 million ecosystem, driven by revenue sharing based on player engagement across various game modes.

Fortnite's evolution from a building and survival game to a social gaming experience highlights the potential of the metaverse to create engaging multiplayer environments.

The metaverse is about multiplayer social gaming experiences where friends can gather in a 3D world and have fun together, exemplified by games like Fortnite.

Epic Games has invested heavily in developing the future of technology, spending more than they earn to build a robust ecosystem around Unreal Engine and Fortnite.

The success of Fortnite's cross-platform play has pressured other companies, like Sony, to open up their platforms, leading to better partnerships and collaboration in the gaming industry.

Fortnite generates billions of dollars in revenue annually, primarily from in-game purchases, which constitutes the majority of Epic Games' income.

The goal of Verse is to simplify programming for the Fortnite community while ensuring that it scales effectively for large simulations, making it easier for developers to create complex gameplay, and Epic Games allows developers to create games that can be shipped as standalone titles or integrated into Fortnite, enabling interoperability with Fortnite items and cosmetics.

To create a unified metaverse, we need to federate social systems and economies across different gaming platforms, allowing players to maintain their identities and items across games.

Epic Games' success with Fortnite is attributed to its ability to scale its online infrastructure to support millions of concurrent users without purchasing additional server hardware.
