WHY FORTNITE NEVER CAME TO CRYPTO

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Fortnite's 650 million users and $400 million creator economy appear ideal for NFTs, but Epic CEO Tim Sweeney prioritizes interoperability via APIs and open standards over blockchain-based ownership. While Epic is opening Fortnite assets to external games, challenges like royalties, IP rights, and platform moderation hinder cross-platform compatibility. Without NFTs that provide neutral ownership and programmable royalties, users remain under centralized control.
