That's my point, Fortnite is bigger than a "video game". It's a legitimate cultural phenomenon.

This isn't about video games anymore, it's about tapping into something bigger. Even Minecraft couldn't crack into the market segments Fortnite has.

Conversely, neither fortnite (nor any other game) has cracked the Minecraft market segment.

Fortnite is much bigger, both in terms of players and in terms of cultural impact, than Minecraft.
