So the obvious issue here is that Fortnite is free so...why would you pay a sub to play it?

spicelicka93d ago

The game is free and you are free to downloand and play it for free. The sub is to be able to cloud stream it. It would be great to be able to stream it for free for people that want to, but it makes sense from a business perspective. It costs them money to host streaming servers.

We yes, of course it make sense for the business. I was speaking from the consumer perspective.

That’s like saying why do I need to stay at the hotel to get the free breakfast? The breakfast is free I shouldn’t have to stay in a room.
I’m amazed they ever did it for free.

The problem isn't the game itself it's that it is incredibly expensive to operate these cloud workloads so I'm actually surprised they offer anything for free in this realm let alone having a cap on the time.

Also I'm not the biggest fortnite fan but I was under the impression it already ran on everything from phone to switch to console wonder why you'd chose to stream the game when you can play it natively

Actually there is a real practical reason for offering a free trail and that is to allow users to test their connection and latency. Yeah I have reservations about streaming anything competive.

This Fortnite chest takes forever to open… but is it worth it?

The new Fortnite chest will take you approximately half of a match to open, but it might be worth it.

It looks significantly better and at twice the frame rate. I can only imagine how good Nintendo first party games are going to look throughout the generation.
