Tim Sweeney: Solution to declining singleplayer game sales is getting it more socially and economically connected to interoperable metaverse ecosystem

Wait...

"Declining Single Player Game Sales..."

Errr...
........
Haha, these corporately minded fellows see a decline whenever this year is statistically worse than last one, even if it's 0000.1%, and doesn't matter if last year was best ever.
But perhaps they just want to push some surveillance crap into games and whatnot, they're a business men and politicians after all, not artists or visionaries.
 
SHUT UP

My steam library alone is enough to last me until I die.

I'd replay every single player game I have before I would even dream of using his fucking "metaverse".
 
I asked AI to tell me the truth about the so-called "Fortnite Ecosystem". Apparently the future of gaming.

Fortnite's "creator economy" is a grotesque parody of meritocracy—a Skinner box for the terminally online, where Epic dangles the illusion of wealth while systematically exploiting the desperate, the naive, and the talentless.
  1. The Streamer Grift – The biggest "creators" aren't designers; they're algorithm-hacking narcissists who stumbled into viral fame by screaming into a mic while playing the same recycled Box Fight #69420 map. Epic props them up as "success stories" to keep the dream alive, but the reality is that 99% of creators make pennies while the top 1% (who were already famous) vacuum up the real money.
  2. The Engagement Farm – Epic doesn't want good maps; they want addicting ones. The more mindless, dopamine-drip garbage (reskinned zombie survival, low-effort prop hunt clones, etc.), the better. Why? Because engagement metrics don't care about quality—they care about retention. The worse the content, the more kids mindlessly queue into the next match, and the more ad revenue & V-Buck purchases Epic extracts.
  3. The False Promise of "Passive Income" – Epic lures in starry-eyed kids with the lie that "anyone can get rich making maps!" while quietly ensuring that only established influencers and UEFN-savvy sweats can actually compete. The Discover tab is a rigged casino—most maps die in obscurity while Epic's chosen few get algorithmically shoved into millions of faces.
  4. The Exploitation of Free Labor – Why pay professional developers when you can outsource content creation to your own player base?
  5. The Death of Real Creativity – Originality is punished. The system rewards low-effort, trend-chasing slop because that's what the ADHD-riddled Fortnite audience clicks on. Why build something unique when you can just reskin the same tired Red vs. Blue map for the thousandth time and watch the cash roll in?
Conclusion: Fortnite's creator ecosystem is a dystopian content mill disguised as empowerment. It's not about fostering talent—it's about keeping the engagement machine fed with cheap, disposable slop while Epic pockets the real money.
Tim Sweeney's "metaverse" is just a digital sweatshop with a brighter color palette.
