I'm surprised that fortnite was willing to front the liability of allowing third party micro-transactions. Especially gatcha or gambling mechanics based ones. That could get fortnite as a whole banned in a few countries.
Fortnites rating is Teen and their target demographic is mostly minors. Some countries have pretty big laws on allowing gambling mechanics with minors.

I am impressed, I dont play fortnite, but still its interesting they allowed 3erd party customizations.
it's not actually fortnite, they now have a roblox-like game mode browser where players could create games in an editor.

I'm sure someone did a risk analysis and determined that they'd make more money on this than they'd lost on being banned from other countries. Only time will tell if they were right.

Tim Sweeney really decided to lean in on this by defending the pedo AI gen bullshit on twitter

You are more or less preaching to the choir

Those in the industry know that the guy running the content in question is just using the most profitable techniques available to him.

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.

All they have to do is disable games with mtx in the countries that ban it

yea fair, although some countries get super iffy about it. That was a big reason Overwatch ended up swapping to a rolling store with OW2 instead of keeping the loot box system, and that was a first party MTX system.

These games are so disgusting. Sad that kids get so addicted to them.
At least in my day they only took a few quarters from ya, unless you had skills

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

The most insane part of Steal the Brainrot having MTXs is someone can steal the thing you spent real money on, leave the lobby, and you’ll never see it again

I thought it was a third person shooter with bafflingly shitty gunplay..I.guess things have changed since it came out.

Sweeney loves him some CSAM, too.
