Awesome activation to see. I think we'll start to see more integrations with top games because of the guaranteed traffic instead of popups since those have been hard to get good numbers on.
The new 2024 Manchester City Home kit by PUMA has arrived! 🥳. Check it out in several of our maps and many more! ⚽️

Glad that Sypher brought attention to an issue impacting the community. But then he goes and launches this which breaks someone else’s copyright (Avatar). What a mess.

My thoughts:. - Consistent branding and quality.- Network of creators to push game into discover. But with other teams attempting the same thing, what sets Good Gamers apart?.

One of the only incumbent 1.0 creators finding sustained success in UEFN just launched another map. What is he doing that others haven't been able to replicate?.

This Fortnite IP Partner dashboard was clearly built to support more than just LEGO. What IPs will we see in the future on Fortnite?

This could be the new standard in IP licensing in UGC. 🤝 Reasonable rev share (15%).⚠️ Ratings & brand restrictions.✅ Open season to use IP otherwise. Is this an indicator for how Disney IP will become available on UEFN?.
"In exchange for creating LEGO Islands, you agree to share 15% of your total island payout with The LEGO Group. Epic will automatically deduct this amount from your engagement payout and distribute it to The LEGO Group, and you will receive the remainder."

Is the system fine as is, or, does it need changing? Roblox just paid out $741m, about the same size as the pie Epic is sharing among creators and themselves.

It will be interesting to see how this shakes out over the next year, especially with Epic investing even more in first party content like Lego, Festival, Rocket Racing, and eventually Disney.

To be fair, Epic did say that their games were included in that creator payout cut. This actually ends up meaning that non-Epic creators actually get 40% of 40%. 775.3m paid out (including Epic) .--.486.5m for Epic's games.288.8m for creator games

How it started vs how it's going:. Last year, Epic promised creators 40% of Fortnite's net revenue. After 12 months, they'll have made 14.9% 🧵
