Netflix claims that Fortnite is one of its biggest competitors

netflix-logo.png

When it comes to digital streaming, Netflix is one of the largest contenders, being one of the most well known services of them all, managing to reach a massive $16 billion dollars in revenue last year. Netflix tends to vie for consumer's money and time against the likes of Hulu or HBO, or even YouTube, but according to a new earnings report, there's an even bigger enemy to the company; Epic Games' insanely popular video game Fortnite. In the document, Netflix stated that, "we earn consumer screen time, both mobile and television, away from a very broad set of competitors. We compete with (and lose to) Fortnite more than HBO". The company appears to be considering not only subscription numbers, but also how often its users watch content, with Netflix earning about 10% of all viewed television content, and even less when it comes to mobile, which Fortnite tends to dominate in. Despite the gap in both products, Netflix views a free mobile game as more of a stronger competitor rather than other paid television services, showing just how much of a titan that Fortnite has become since its launch.

Well guess you took what she said a bit too personal...

It is perfectly fine if she thinks the game is shit, it's her opinion after all. And and at least she isnt making that opinion as a mere fact that everyone should follow... It just her opinion.
I don't have a problem with people stating something as shit, i've a problem with people throwing it at anything without explanation, it's counter productive and lead to nothing but free "hate".
And i really want to see the explanatino behind because the game is perfectly fine gameplay and graphics wise, so it's a least a 10/20 to my book, not a shitty game.

You're the worst...
As i said before, the kind of people you represent are a cancer to this board.
WHAT ON EARTH IS PUSHING YOU INTO NOT ACCEPTING THAT SOMETHING CAN BE GOOD AND YOU JUST DON'T LIKE IT ?

You need to calm down kid before your conniption fit hurts you. It is apparent your parents have not yet taught you there are people out there who will have these things called "differing opinions". Maybe they spoiled you too much?

As for why the game is absolute shit, there are multiple reasons why (though you being an apparent rabid fanboy, I suspect you won't agree), but I think the most important reason why is the gameplay. It handles like a child on drugs, even on a keyboard, which it should not. It is arcadey, bouncy and floaty, which are not as fitting for BR as many of the mind controlled Fortnite fans seem to think it is. There's also the stupidest design decisions I have ever seen (but I suppose it is related to the loot box environment aspects to encourage more brainless people to buy more skins and whatnot) such as the emotes which you can infect other players with and stop them. This isn't fun, this isn't tactical—it is straight up shit. Only a moron would think that was a good idea and only crazy fans would think it is a good addition to any competitive game. The building aspect of the game does not fit the BR aspect of the game, it just encourages a weird tower defense role to players, taking away from the focus of what the game seems to be about (or should) and oh yea, the "subscription model" (for the lack of a better word, though if you'll except it, lootbox model).

An addition to my complaints has to do with the graphics too. And I am by no graphics snob—a majority of my favorite games look nothing more than a blur of colorful barely identifiable sprites—it is a matter of how horrendous the shader looks. It looks like someone ate a fruit cake and threw up. It is horrific.

Fortnite have a great gameplay, great market to get money for the devs, looks quite good and also run on 10 years old PCs... WHY IS IT BAD ? Just explain so we can laught please...

Disregarding the other shit, "great market to get money for the devs" you think that [their business model] is a good thing? Are you insane? It promotes complete and utter unhealthy business practices that are not good for the consumer with its microtransctions. This is how far gone you are. That is like saying the trash on the mobile market is great, shit like knockoff tetris that charges you $2 to unlock every new level. Might as well say EA's business practices are great too.


I don't have a problem with people stating something as shit, i've a problem with people throwing it at anything without explanation, it's counter productive and lead to nothing but free "hate".
And i really want to see the explanatino behind because the game is perfectly fine gameplay and graphics wise, so it's a least a 10/20 to my book, not a shitty game.

Jesus, you need a life outside of Fortnite if you think dissing a game qualifies as "hate" and take it that personally regardless of an explanation being given. Do you realize how crazy that is? It is a damn game. :mellow:

EDIT

But will there be a time without a fad?

Some people need to be told by other people what to like, so no. There will always be a fad.

Fortnite is there, Fortnite is behind you, People in the streets are talking about Fortnite, in GBATemp people are talking about Fortnite, in schools people are talking about Fortnite, on every site that is related in the SLIGHTEST to video games, Fortnite is there. There is even a Minecraft site that i can name that people were talking about the best strat in Fortnite, and when NETFLIX says that Fortnite is a competitor, both being 2 different things, I am TIRED. Fortnite is everywhere, It's impossible to escape it. No matter how much we try, it is impossible.
please let's make Fu*k Fortnite February real.

*On Topic*
Why is it a competitor in any way? As far as i know with my -3000 IQ, Netflix isn't a video game.
Or is it competition in money?
I Wouldn't be surprised if Fortnite was earning more than Netflix.
Edit:I can't read, It's competition on screen time or something.
