That's probably the first thing i've heard about Epic Games that makes me think it'll still be around 5-10 years from now. Disney can bring a LOT of content, so long as they can actually make it half decent content and not shit the bed like they did with EA.
For me it was their billions of dollars of revenue
Epic isn’t going anywhere

I see huge potential for NFT integration as well. Imagine buying a Mickey Mouse skin in Fortnight and being able to use it in one of Epic Games' other games too. Lots of possibilities.
Oh man, remember NFTs? Glad that’s over.

I didn’t read the full article, but isn’t this describing mostly a personal friendship between Bob Iger and Steve Jobs? I know that analysts have had recurring fantasies about Apple raining money on Disney, but has there been any real evidence of Apple considering that?
Also says Iger was on Apple's board until 2019 when they started competing in streaming space. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/13/bob-iger-resigns-from-apple-... Idk man, none of us had a drink at a bar with "Apple" and "Disney" to confirm the cozy relationship, others have provided business partnerships, what would satisfy you?
Disney use Unreal Engine for their dynamic greenscreen LED wall which they film The Mandalorian and others against. That's got to be at least as important as Fortnite characters.

Only for the first season. They switched to their own stuff later. IIRC.
Disney gets more IP in front of more 13-25 year olds. This is a very impressionable age group, and can create life long fans. This is a good value proposition for Disney. Epic probably gets an increase in valuation -- lifeblood for tech companies. Collaboration skins are massive for revenue. However, I'm concerned this relationship will force uncool collaborations with Fortnite and reduce it's appeal. Disney has had…
Epic games has the potential to be the virtual Disney World - just available to everyone on the planet instead of those with enough money to visit a park IRL. Disney has a great flywheel where their IP drives content, toys, and experiences. This is just the latest experience, and it’s something they can’t build themselves. I bet you can expect more content on fortnite to be with Disney IP; skins, events, maps, everyt…
> Epic games has the potential to be the virtual Disney World - just available to everyone on the planet instead of those with enough money to visit a park IRL. How? EPIC doesn’t have a VR platform at the moment. The deal still makes sense though. Disney needs to control a video game platform.
The "Fortnite creative engine" is roughly a Virtual Worlds editor / generator along side the Fortnite Virtual Worlds marketplace.

> Epic games has the potential to be the virtual Disney World This is what everyone said about Lego, and a bunch of other collabs that came before. It was never true and it's not true now. Turns out people don't want a "virtual world", they want a fun game.
A bunch of the collabs have been super successful. They don’t need to build a permanent Second Life type metaverse BS. Look at their concerts in Fortnite’s universe. Very successful at attracting eyes and money. “Virtual Disney world” doesn’t mean VR roller coasters, it means Disney themed digital experiences (eg fun games). Disney and Epic have a decent track record building fun and profitable experiences for people…
