LEGO fortnite, was just looking at job postings
So what's next, Fortday?
Were they in the wave of companies with layoffs recently? Wish that money went to keeping people in jobs.
This is one of those things that feels viscerally weird to me (Who the hell is playing Fortnite for the "Universe") but then I remember Mojang and Microsoft were able to do basically the same thing (to incredibly profitable results) with... Minecraft of all things.
It's kind of a weird state of things. In the past you had various Universes (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc) that got adapted into games and such. Now you have games that get adapted into Universes. Different culture in a way.
