Disney to Invest $1.5 Billion in Fortnite Maker Epic Games

Walt Disney Co. is acquiring a $1.5 billion equity stake in Fortnite maker Epic Games Inc. as part of a collaboration involving Disney properties like Star Wars, Marvel and Avatar, the companies said Wednesday.

Interesting in that Disney and Apple have a great relationship, whereas Apple is Epic’s enemy #1. Curious to see if this changes anything

so we can expect disney characters in fortnite then??

This is interesting because Bob really likes Apple, so would this force Epic to tone down their aggression towards Apple?

A good deal... for Disney

I guess they saw Taylor’s new track list!

Honestly, this just worries me about what kind of games we're going to get

Oh, so THAT is why Kingdom Hearts is still an Epic Games exclusive in the year of our Lord 2024.

Disney uses stacks of money. It’s Super effective!

How much more cringe go into one game?

i love my brick of interbrand strategic content. i am so happy that everything i soyface at is a homogeneous slop that gets slapped on my tray like a cartoon school lunch
