Fortnite: One year ago the gaming industry changed forever

One year ago today, “gaming became cool” not only in the eyes of Tyler “Ninja” Blevins but for millions of others as well. For one night the world of video gaming, pop culture, professional sports and the music industry seamlessly merged over a game of Fortnite streamed on Twitch. On that Thursday night, Ninja teamed up with music icon, Drake, hip-hop artist, Travis Scott and wide-receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, JuJu Smith-Schuster to not only change the way gaming is perceived but entertain an audience in a way that hasn’t been seen before.
