theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-09-19 03:49:37

Starting in December, Fortnite creators will be able to sell items directly from the islands they’ve built, using new tools that will be launching later on. The benefit, of course, is that creators on the platform will have a new revenue stream (currently, they earn revenue primarily based on engagement numbers). And Ep

In 2015 and 2017, director S.S. Rajamouli released a two-part fantasy epic for the ages.
