If you're interested in industry, culture, and entertainment in 2018 - you should learn about Fortnite. I've played it. It's the most creative video game I've ever seen and definitely the best form of entertainment out there right now. And guess what, it's ok to be entertained.

I mention Fortnite because it’s a cultural phenomenon. It’s indicative of the state of tech, entertainment, economics, and youth culture. If you fancy yourself as someone who is “informed” you should be aware of this game and what it says about life in 2018.

The game play is extremely creative. You can build massive structures from thin air. You can basically create the landscape as you go, using your structures strategically and tactically to win battles. The end result is often very artistic.

I’m tweeting about this because sometimes we all need a break from politics, culture wars, and all the other depressing crap out there. The phenomenons around Fortnite are also fascinating.

Who knew pro video gamers could make $500k a month? Or that a “free” game could make $100MM a month? There is little else more “2018” than millions of people watching gaming streams of “super stars” via Twitch and YouTube.

One last note. It is a shooting game but it’s cartoonish. There’s no blood. The characters are silly. And you can do silly dances mid game. I see kids walking down the street doing the dances all the time. Oh yeah, and the gender of your character switches each game. #2018
