Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says new multiplayer games flop because everyone's "already formed solid human networks in Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and Apex Legends"
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney believes new multiplayer games are failing because players are too entrenched in established titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and Apex Legends. He states that it's nearly impossible to migrate entire friend groups to new games, making only massive hits capable of community migration successful. Sweeney also cited other factors like exorbitant budgets and long development cycles contributing to game failures.
