Those numbers blow my mind.

Where else would that money have been spent if fortnite didn't exist? Still on games?

Speaking as someone who has made nearly seven figures from television, I am reasonably certain that television will turn out to be a 'boomer phenomenon. The average age of network viewers goes up a year every year. The engagement of every age group but senior citizens goes down every year.

These are not people who will suddenly start watching TV. It is dead to them forever.

THE DEMOGRAPHIC

I wonder how and when the hundreds of millions will trickle down to us. What do video game producers spend their money on?

A quick look tells me that a Chinese conglomerate owns 40% of Epic Games. So the money might stay in China for a little while.
