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

spicelicka79d 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.

Eonjay79d ago

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.

Profchaos81d ago

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

Eonjay81d ago

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.

It's just a complaint, not a lawsuit, and it's completely unwarranted.

Garethvk8d ago

I said filed which they did. Filed a complaint.

VersusDMC8d ago

James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it.

So i don't know why SAG is getting involved as it makes it seem like they are going against james earl jones wishes or just wanted a cut...

Garethvk8d ago

They are concerned about A.I. replacing live talent. It's an unusual stance as you are correct; he left his voice and his family approved. The union is saying doing this versus using a live actor sets a bad precedent going forward. The use of A.I. has been a huge issue in the recent labor deals.

VersusDMC8d ago

Well this is also an interactive AI Darth Vader that would have made live talent impossible unless they think a actor being in Fortnight 24/7 is an acceptable solution.

They should concentrate on cases that are possible to be done with live talent and that haven't been given blessing or sold by the original actor(for which they should have the right to sell)

Eonjay8d ago

"James earl jones sold his voice for use for Darth Vader after his passing and his estate said they approved it."

I have to say if James approved this after his death... that would be... um...

Do you mean he approved it while he was alive for when he passed?

VersusDMC8d ago

It's reported that he gave permission before his death and his estate(which i asume is his family) says so as well.

spoonard8d ago

Because SAG-AFTRA are trade unions. They are the Hollywood mafia protecting their profits from anything they feel could undermine them. It's all about the almighty dollar, not artists.

Christopher7d ago

James Earl Jones doesn't own the character, though. He essentially said the owners of the IP can use his voice however they wish, not everyone.
