Fortnite has taken the gaming world by storm, making Epic a billion dollar company in just short of a year. But Fortnite isn’t just a game.
The game itself isn’t the only reason why the world is in shock; it’s primarily because of how good streaming services have been to Fortnite. Youtube as well as Twitch have rose to prominence since the game launched on all platforms, including iOS.
Streamers like Ninja and Myth have become household names to the younger audience Fortnite attracts. Things like Twitch Prime give fans who are subscribed to other platforms a chance to become a subscriber for free by using their twitch prime subscription on whatever streamer they wish.
Giving you free access to emojis, emblems and banners along with chat privileges like subscriber mode. Because of the praise and success Fortnite has gotten, Epic along with Esports has made it their mission to host tournaments that we’ve never seen before.
Which means bigger cash prizes, more competition, and a better environment for fans to watch and spectate the game from.
