Netflix doesn't have to be scared of Fortnite. They just need to build a gaming subscription service to provide unlimited access to their video game database like Xbox Game Pass, Playstation Plus, or Steam.

[@chincity9065]

my friend group definitly only went back to fortnite after they added zero build

I love your content, here is some constructive criticism for you, I hope you dont take it the wrong way. Your presentation is full of dramatic pauses and sentences ending in your stressing every. last. word. It is effective when used here and there. But it feels like you are overusing it by ending every other sentence in a punchline and I think it's tiring to the viewer. I hope you dial it down a bit, because I love listening to your points and watching your videos. English is not my first language so hopefully I haven't offended you in any way. Thank you!

[@hehasnolips1371]

It’s because this title is clickbait and taking this way is just to get views and engagement to get money from the viewers when they watch their videos this whole video was a waste of time Netflix isn’t scared of Fortnite I wish I could go back and not wasted 9 minutes of my life

[@kmjgsdkmjgsd]

As a proud p🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️e, I don’t see any incentive to own a Netflix account to access mid media content, but if my friends were ever to invite me to play Fornite with them, at least I’d only have to worry about downloading the 90+GB of content; no credit card needed. I can see how Fortnite is less likely to blow up, in the bad way.

[@Jordanthecool7]

1:25 I agree 100%, netflix went down hill a decent amount once the other platforms came about and started taking their shows off of the platform. Seems like for the most part the only thing Netflix has going for them is their originals, and international shows

[@MrWoofWoof03Streams]

ok i may lose some people but wouldn't it be a neat idea if Fortnite and Netflix having a Collab be cool you could go into worlds that can play movies or seriously without ever leaving Fortnite ?

[@Tarriq]

It would be cool. Would require another pass though But Disney have already bought in so it’s going to be disney plus and fortnite forever

[@TpoapAnimatesYT]

Me on Fortnite: how did i looses Fortnite: Netflix player Me: AW HELL NAH

[@epicstarzgecko]

Theres one thing that makes Fortnite win over Netflix for the gaming experience. It’s the creator content from Maps to even soon their own games. Fortnite has and will become something much bigger in the future and now with Lego creations at some point we could see players make their own Lego games in Fortnite. If Netflix figures out a way to allow content creators for both gaming and media maybe they could really be a challenge but with how Fortnite has achieved with the cross over skins. I’m not sure 😅

[@henrysager5133]

I wouldn’t be scared of Fortnite’s expansion. I don’t believe that they will succeed. Lego/Rocket Racing/and Festival are pathetic half-baked ideas. None of them are even close to being a finished game and all of them are taking resources from battle royale. I came to Fortnite from Save the World, so I know how Fortnite treats its old games when it shifts focus to new ones. Fortnite BR is going to stagnate just like Save the World before it. Collabs are novelty at best and won’t save BR once it stops being supported how it used too and the gameplay falls off.

[@KwikBR]

yeah, I loved chapter one back when they added a whole mode where you could become the avengers and fight thanos, or maybe when they replaced the main building in tilted with something from john wick, or when they added stranger things portals all through mega mall, or maybe the time they added an entire POI from borderlands 3. chapter 1 was amazing

[@June_sucks]

@@KwikBR That was later in chapter one, I’m talking about the beginning seasons. When literally nobody had skins or emotes. I’m not trying to play a game and see a damn anime or transformers skin popping some cringe icon emotes. This game is a joke. The overall simplicity of the map was so much better too, they keep trying to add too much stuff and it’s just not fun in anyway.
