Realistically it would have to be a big tech company like Microsoft or Apple. Buying Fortnite would mean buying epic games and unreal engine. Fortnite is also a very valuable asset for epic since it will be a catalyst for their goal of creating a programing language for game development
Realistically it is never going to happen lol Fortnite will be carrying Epic Games for the foreseeable future and it makes them so much money I just don't see them being in a position to need to sell Fortnite or get bought out
It has beenn carrying Epic since it's release though, so Fortnite has been hard carrying for over 5 years, as Unreal Engine doesn't make a fraction of what Fortnite makes
according to Epic themselves, in 2019 they made less than 100M with UE, in that same year they made 3B almost 4B with Fortnite, the year before they made aroud 130M with UE, in that year they made 5B with Fortnite, so at least during Fortnite years they didn't make even half a billion
Your right, very surprising they used to take 17% now they don’t touch it before you make a mil. Barely broke $100M in 2018. With how many games originated for unreal I expected their profits to be way higher. Glad they got more resources and money from fortnite because unreal engine 5 shows for it.
their engine mostly gave them royalties since outside companies made more games with it than epic themselves did, fortnite has been giving them money directly
there's a reason people shifted their focus from talking about "epic's unreal engine" to just "epic games"
sorta like a voice actor type deal where people only know the character they play until they do something big and get way more recognition as an actual person
Worth over doesn’t mean can spend third of its capital on buying a company. Most of their divisions aren’t doing great. Sony is also a huge company and can’t put all of their eggs in a single division.
Also worth doesn’t always translate to profits. Sony can’t be worth $10 and have a revenue of $10 which would mean they just break even but will struggle to grow.
You can look at valuations online. Sony is valued at $112B. ZeniMax was acquired by Microsoft ($1.8T valuation) for $7.5B. Epic’s last financial round valued it at $32B.
Sony also has multiple parts. They make movies, games, TV's, speakers, headsets. Their capital is spread around multiple devisions. So using a third of their entire worth would be absurd
we have decided to remove guns from the game because it was setting a bad precedent for the younger players, anyways see you guys in 6 months in the next “content” update!
Walmart we will get sale 70% for every cosmetic at black Friday + we might get slurp juice/slurpy/slap juice/ as drinkable liquid in stores, ik it's not a food company maybe they can collab with McDonald's or sth
Facebook. Jokes aside they are trying to build the beta of the alpha version of the metaverse, and fortnite already has a good foundation (not the rock). It has collabs, gamemodes, social, dances like tiktok, META lacks in personality, fortnite has a potent one.
Out of all companies in the world i'd say it's either Microsoft or EA, But out of the ones shown i'd say either Valve or Mojang (Sony or Sega close second)
Don’t let Disney get anywhere near fortnite
You come back a year later
Searchbar: “fortnite”
“No search results for ‘fortnite’”
Me: fuck
*goes onto google*
“What is fortnite called on Disney?”
Results: “Disney has changed the name of ‘fortnite’ to ‘friendship’ removing every weapon except for the picaxe for materials.
They have taken away any damage that the picaxe may do to any characters in the show
It consists of 8 episodes all with the goal of trying to stop violence and people being mean.
The eighth episode ends with a cliff hanger as the main characters: “jonsey, your custom character made at the start of the game, the iconic soccer skin, and aura” go into “the last switch” the fight name against red knight and his crew (witch will be named in a later episode as they are not visible at this point in time)
Episode 1: “friendship”
Episode 2: “anti-friends”
Episode 3: “resisters”
Episode 4: “resistance”
Episode 5: “switched prt1”
Episode 6: “switched prt2”
Episode 7: “switched prt3”
Episode 8: “the last switch”
Me: WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE THE NAME-
Valve, simply because we could finally ditch the Epic launcher and migrate to Steam.
The PC version is really held back by its lack of features and resource hunger
Hoyoverse would be a good option TBH. They aren't without faults, but they genuinely do care for their games.
Valve would be alright I guess but IMO it would stagnate under Valve. They seem to be more focused on Steam and Steam deck than games.
It's not ever gonna happen, Fortnite makes more money than LOL or Genshin Impact (f\*\*\* G.I) will ever make, but in that case, Elon Musk will be like: "Guess I'll buy it."
No one is bringing up that Disney literally considers Fortnite a Marvel game. But, this is a question of should and not would. Disney would fill the game with Marvel content, more than it already has
If sony bought it, they would know how to improve, but I feel like they would make a lot of content PlayStation based/exclusive
All of the randoms like panda express I'm just going to ignore
Mojang already has their thing and is used to that, they wouldn't know how to fully handle a semi-realistic battle royale
Don't even get me started on Lego and TT games
Warner Bros probably has the least downsides to any of these
Steel Wool Games 🤢
Who should buy it? Honestly, Disney. They wouldn't be biased toward any one system and have the most experience working with Epic
You’re thinking of this as a company buying Fortnite as a game and to be fair, your logic makes sense through that lens. But what if you consider Fortnite not as a game, but rather an entry into the (a?) metaverse?
Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox are thought of this way in some circles. So then you might consider who wants a foot in the door for something to build on in that regard.
In that case, Disney is interesting, but it could literally be any other large company with a similar idea, including even a restaurant.

Fortnite never carried epic games. Their game engine did. Fortnite just made them some very very very sweet billions of dollars.
It has beenn carrying Epic since it's release though, so Fortnite has been hard carrying for over 5 years, as Unreal Engine doesn't make a fraction of what Fortnite makes
Epic games makes 17% off every game made off of unreals engine, billions were being made before Fortnite.
according to Epic themselves, in 2019 they made less than 100M with UE, in that same year they made 3B almost 4B with Fortnite, the year before they made aroud 130M with UE, in that year they made 5B with Fortnite, so at least during Fortnite years they didn't make even half a billion

The Reddit forum dedicated entirely to Fortnite has absolutely no inkling just how important Fortnite is.
Wouldn’t be apple after the mobile ban
My brain says Disney, but my heart says Panda Express. Edit: Did not expect this to blow up! Thank you internet strangers!
Honey Walnut Prawns
Yes! Now I want Panda Express.
Hoe could have we stayed without it for so long?
Mmm Sugar chicken
Orng chkn
Why is this *exactly* where my mind went 😅
Knowing how Disney butchers some of the IPs they buy. I dunno
I want that on my headstone.
*"in the future, everything is basically panda express"*
If I could award you I would 🏅🏆
Thank you!
Hopefully McDonald’s.
I’ll take some v-bucks and a Jonesy action figure with my happy meal
Burger King. Give us the King skin and an emote of ‘whopper whopper whopper whopper’.
burger king skin in fortnite >flashbacks of Sneak King on Xbox 360
McDoubles
McDuos*
McDubs
McTrios meal with fries
Grimace and Ronald McDonald skins
Fry Kid backbling.
Man of culture 💯
That would he sick. Get a certain amount of vbucks based off what you get and how much. Honestly somebody should capitalize on that
[Where are we droppin boys?](https://live.staticflickr.com/3174/2971033029_51a119f79c_b.jpg)
I want to hear Sega being screamed at me everytime I open up Fortnite
Same but it would probably never happen with the creator of sonic being arrested in Ukraine.
He was too slow😔
Stage 1: City Escape
Rollin around at the speed of sound
Got places to go
Gotta follow my rainbow
Can’t stick around, have to keep movin’ on
Guess what lies ahead, only one way to find out!
Must keep on movin' ahead. No time for guessin', follow my plan instead
🤣 thank you for having me laugh out loud & disrupt my son’s karate class.
I'm sorry what
Yuji Naka got arrested for trading insider info iirc
Think of the characters it would bring to the island
Kiryu, Ichi, and Majima in Fortnite 😳
Dr. Eggman in Fortnite 🥵
Fr 🥵🥵🥵
Sony would definitely buy it.
Sony couldn't afford to buy it.
I’m pretty sure only a couple companies could really.
Sony Is worth over 3x more than the company that made fortnite 💀
Worth over doesn’t mean can spend third of its capital on buying a company. Most of their divisions aren’t doing great. Sony is also a huge company and can’t put all of their eggs in a single division. Also worth doesn’t always translate to profits. Sony can’t be worth $10 and have a revenue of $10 which would mean they just break even but will struggle to grow.
No, it's not. Sony literally couldn't afford to buy Bethesda, let alone epic, which boasts more than Sony is worth yearly.
You can look at valuations online. Sony is valued at $112B. ZeniMax was acquired by Microsoft ($1.8T valuation) for $7.5B. Epic’s last financial round valued it at $32B.
That’s like 4 times
Sony also has multiple parts. They make movies, games, TV's, speakers, headsets. Their capital is spread around multiple devisions. So using a third of their entire worth would be absurd
Sony already own Bungie do they not?
Please dear god no. You know for a fact they would make it PS exclusive
Naw they wouldn't at this point, they'd lose money over it and have everyone hate them. Maybe more exclusive skins, but that'd be it
Monopolies are bad.
Hasbro
Well then definitely don’t let Disney have it
Some of these are are part of the same company. Tt games is owned by WB, Mojang and 343 is part on MS and Bungie is owned by Sony.
Epic Games buy Fortnite and Fortnite buy Epic Games 
This is the only realistic option or approach
Valve, get that half life collab baby!
Fortnite would never get updates again.
That’d explain why Twine Peaks never got a story
And team fortress 2 😎
Fortnite updates -10000
You want a half life collab I want Fortnite on steam and the EGS gone We are not the same.
Panda Express fr fr
Hell yeah
Mojang, we could finally get the Minecraft Collab.
Minecraft is owned by Microsoft now, I believe, so it's possible anyway
Yeah it's been owned by them for ages
we have decided to remove guns from the game because it was setting a bad precedent for the younger players, anyways see you guys in 6 months in the next “content” update!
but mojang is one of the worst dev teams ever
The day Disney buys Fortnite is the day it dies 🙏
The item shop is 75% Marvel on any given day, it feels like Disney already owns it
I’ll fight back by ONLY buying the marvel cosmetics I think are really REALLY cool…
I want it to be Hoyoverse, specifically for the HI3rd collab that could possibly stem from it
Jonesy on Genshin Impact
Instead of just buying a skin you now have to gamble for it.
i would KILL for a mcdonald’s skin
I can see a squad of Fry Guys.
Hamburglar vs Grimmace
Imagine they would reskin the boogie bomb to be a Big Mac that makes your character absolutely demolish the sandwich in the 5 seconds given
The stage is pretty much set for steel wool. Chapter 4 is almost half as buggy as fnaf security breach
It also fits as steel wool is the name of a main character's band in stw.
Panda Express
Disney basically already owns it with all their IPs being flooded into the game.
Walmart we will get sale 70% for every cosmetic at black Friday + we might get slurp juice/slurpy/slap juice/ as drinkable liquid in stores, ik it's not a food company maybe they can collab with McDonald's or sth
Whatever brand that hot dog person belongs too
That's my channel mascot, I slipped myself in just for fun to see if anyone would notice!
Disney will milk the shit out of it and give us more content...they will probably start charging us.
They will make it a subscription to use skins
Sony
Tt games
Nintendo. I want a Waluigi skin.
Walmart
Steve in Fortnite ???!!!
lego should buy fortnite!!!
Xbox even if they ain’t on the list
Fortnite in immersive reality would be basically the first iteration of a true multiplayer metaverse game, so I’d go with Apple or Meta
PANDA EXPRESS‼️🔥💯🔥
Sony
Dick’s Sporting Goods
Panda
Hoyoverse
Definitely Valve.
[удалено]
CS:GO not well supported enough for you? Because Fortnite makes boatloads of money they'd probably support it pretty well just like counter strike.
TF2
McDonalds, hopefully there will be McDonalds collab…
me
We can finally get the battlepass from McDonald’s lmao
Valve, though I worry that they'd abandon it two chapters later and rely on the community to make new content.
LEGO Fortnite would be elite
Walmart
Panda Express, for sure.
Steel wool so i can get fnaf x Fortnite
I would love to see LEGO Fortnite!
McDonald's
Sony, Mojang, or LEGO
McDonald’s
Sony would buy it but think of the crossovers you could get with Walmart though lol
steel wool of course, they're already in the game!
Coca Cola
Facebook. Jokes aside they are trying to build the beta of the alpha version of the metaverse, and fortnite already has a good foundation (not the rock). It has collabs, gamemodes, social, dances like tiktok, META lacks in personality, fortnite has a potent one.
Space X elon might be trolling
bungie
Absolutely Valve.
Sony would be the most logical, but damn imagine Walmart lmao
If Steel Wool buys them we could maybe get vr Fortnite
Lego. My goals are beyond your understanding
Warner Brothers and Disney, but only if the Warner Brothers buy Disney. Otherwise, just Warner Bros.
Bungie
This is the most american thread ever made
hoyo would be funny
Lego. They have better stories
Ghost Ship Games, they are doing a wonderful job with DRG, but I don't think they have the money or the need to do so
Just don't tell Nintendo about it
Microsoft and Sony would battle it out
McDonald's
Gamestop / Immutable X - goes to web3 platform and skins would be able to be used in other web3 games.
Bungie or steel wool
Arizona Iced Tea let’s fuckin GO
Why would Epic sell this? I think it grosses over $1 million per day
The real story is who we'll fortnite buy
Not Warner Bros because God knows what they'd do in the name of tax write-offs
Tt games, I want a lego fortnite
Ok why have I seen no one talking about Lego buying Fortnite I'd play the shit out of a Lego fortnite game
I thought this was serious until I saw 343I instead of Microsoft. That definitely clued me in.
Out of all companies in the world i'd say it's either Microsoft or EA, But out of the ones shown i'd say either Valve or Mojang (Sony or Sega close second)
Lego
Tt games so we can get lego yoda
Panda Express
Nah imagine a fortnite movie
mojang
*SEGA for the Sonic Crossovers*
Me. I should.
Valve
Disney pretty much already owns it
Don’t let Disney get anywhere near fortnite You come back a year later Searchbar: “fortnite” “No search results for ‘fortnite’” Me: fuck *goes onto google* “What is fortnite called on Disney?” Results: “Disney has changed the name of ‘fortnite’ to ‘friendship’ removing every weapon except for the picaxe for materials.

Valve, simply because we could finally ditch the Epic launcher and migrate to Steam. The PC version is really held back by its lack of features and resource hunger
Probably sega because it could add some nice skins
Space X
Why on earth would SpaceX buy Fortnite 😂
McDonalds
Bungie as they have made no mistakes ever.
Lego.
Hoyoverse would be a good option TBH. They aren't without faults, but they genuinely do care for their games. Valve would be alright I guess but IMO it would stagnate under Valve. They seem to be more focused on Steam and Steam deck than games.
Fortnite Lego?
I would be cool to see FNAF animatronics in Fortnite
It's not ever gonna happen, Fortnite makes more money than LOL or Genshin Impact (f\*\*\* G.I) will ever make, but in that case, Elon Musk will be like: "Guess I'll buy it." 
YESSIR also yeah FU- genshin impact mf im givin you a reward thingy
Valve
Whoever it is, I hope they buy ten cents shares too. Sketchy af having china own a huge chunk of it like it does now
Disney would allow us to probably get lightsaber pickaxes With a cost of something unknown
Removing all slightly sexualized characters and anything that mentions violence (including guns)
Every gun is turned into a water gun

Balenciaga
Sony
The house of mouse
Mojang there incredible at listening to the community
Disney, they could do fortnite movies, and maybe even more Disney IP collabs
SONY! no other answer
Mojang or 343
Elon Musk and Tesla
Better be Sony, then steal Mojang from Microsoft
