They have the cash cow known as Fortnite that they really don't need to worry because they seem to always know how to keep it fresh as right now they have that Lego/Minecraft event.

The Fortnite cash cow is in decline, however. Epic didn't make its model work before the balloon started to deflate, and time is running out.
3,000,000 players right now. It's 5am in Europe.

My first game when I returned after being away since March, was full of bots because they thought I'd be shit at the game after a long break.
