The actual sanitary crisis is a real economic challenge for companies. However, one sector seems to be spared: video games. Confined, people have more time for themselves and play all to the latest released games. If one company is particularly successful in gaming, it's Epic Games. In addition to owning Fortnite, the company has recently become the owner of Houseparty.
As a group video communication application, Houseparty has seen a real boom with containment measures. The result is a huge added value for the company, estimated to be worth more than $15 billion — like Bloomberg explains. The brand's licenses, such as Fortnite, should have a bright future ahead of them.
This is the end of an arm wrestling match that will have lasted almost two years. Epic Games gave in and agreed to make Fortnite downloadable via Google Play.
