Can’t wait for a terrible Fortnite movie starring a lesbian in a wheelchair

[Flabagast]

Do we know the amount of shares ?

 

[Skifi28]

Yay, more money to convert into free games.

[Del_X]

Smart since Unreal Engine powers a lot of Disney+ slop.

 

[Wildebeest]

They can use that money to give away all the commercially failed marvel and star wars licence games away for free.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

What a shit company. Disney and China money.

 

[havoc00]

Can we get a new guitar so I can play the Fortnite rhythm game proper?

 

[timothet]

They also do use UE in production of their shows, so that makes sense.

 

[GymWolf]

More woke turds incoming.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Any news on a new Duck Tales game?

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Well, I guess Epic has won the metaverse race or something. And Fortnite will grow even more as the potential of virtual parks etc. is huge.

[Revolutionary]

Guess that means DC skins are never coming back to the item shop. Might also explain why they don't have Lego skins for DC characters.

 

[Bernoulli]

New map/mode

 

[Krieger]

Epic move, Epic. Partnering with the people who killed Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Indiana Jones etc. Get Sweet Baby Inc. in the boat too while you're at it.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

So Kingdom Hearts without Final Fantasy?

 

[BlackTron]

A better fit for modern Disney than Capcom.

 

[Zannegan]

"Engage with content"

The corporate mindset distilled to it's purest form.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

How does Disney even have the money to invest in a project like this?

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

Obligatory

 

[acm2000]

just when you think fortnite has peaked its player count, again, they drop this..

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[Pejo]

Man it's like lumping all of the stuff I have a distaste for and putting it all in once place for convenience of avoidance. I wonder if this is gonna put a muzzle on Tim Sweeney's twitter hot takes.

Hope their first game is a Disney/Fortnite vs. Elon/Gina fighting game.

 

[willothedog]

Disney Infinity 2 confirmed

 

[M1chl]

Oh no the D E I

 

[nush]

How does Disney even have the money to invest in project like this?

They don't.

 

[Roufianos]

Guess that means DC skins are never coming back to the item shop. Might also explain why they don't have Lego skins for DC characters.

I'm just happy they might make new Vader and Mando skins now.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Will have to keep a close eye on what this Epic/Disney partnership brings to Fortnite as I have a 9 year old son who plays it and I don't want Disney to contaminate his brain with their bullshit.

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

How does Disney even have the money to invest in project like this?

Purity rings obviously.

 

[Spyxos]

How does Disney even have the money to invest in project like this?

I asked myself the same question. They have made billions in losses with their movies.

 

[DaciaJC]

Oh, good, just another reason to continue ignoring anything that comes from either of them.

 

[Deerock71]

Do we know the amount of shares ?

1.5 billion?

 

[nemiroff]

Oh man, why did Epic have to partner up with those assholes

or

Oh man, why did Disney have to partner up with those assholes

 

[Mortisfacio]

As a PC gamer, I already didn't like EGS, but now I've discovered that yes... I can indeed like EGS less.

 

[Meicyn]

I want to know what the game mode ends up being. The lego survival and rock band lite modes are fun.

 

[Arsic]

Hopeful me:

We get a Marvel or Star Wars game, even a mmo, as polished as Fortnite is.

Realistic me:

We get a Mickey game where you spend $20 to make his ears green.

 

[kyussman]

I don't game on PC and have no particular feelings towards Epic.......I'll always have a big fuck you ready for Disney though,so fuck Disney!

 

[OverHeat]

Don’t forget this…

 

[KungFucius]

I asked myself the same question. They have made billions in losses with their movies.

What kind of fake data world are you living in? Of the last 4 quarters they had one loss that was ~420 million. They did not lose billions on movies.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I wonder how they can improve Unreal Engine with wokeness

Disney beats on earnings, boosts dividend as streaming losses narrow

Disney reported earnings after the bell on Wednesday. Here's what to know.

ca.finance.yahoo.com

Their entertainment (streaming, media) and sports (espn) division are still losing money, just not as much as previous year. Only their parks are profitable.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Just when I thought Fortnite couldn't get any more disgusting

 

[K2D]

Search result on google:
Top share holders:

• Tim Sweeney (51.4%)
• Tencent (40%)
• The Walt Disney Company (10%)
• Sony (5.4%)

Edit: This is the top result google. I take no responsibility for the bad math here, only the stink for reposting it

 

[Husky]

I wonder how much of this has to do with video games, and how much of this has to do with LED volumes. More and more films and shows are opting to shoot against digital backdrops instead of green screens, and Unreal Engine powers ILM's StageCraft volume. Fortnite won't be huge forever, but those LED sets are only going to get more popular. Or maybe Fortnite will actually be a forever game, and kids twenty years from now will still love it.

 

[rabbity-thing]

If this can bring the Disney Infinity concept back from the grave, I'd be ever so happy.

 

[Roni]

Well, at least we now know Unreal 6, 7 and 8 will be a thing.
