Download or read book How Fortnite Became A Global Video Game Phenomenon How Fortnite Changed People s Lives And How To Earn Revenue As A Fortnite Player written by Dr. Harrison Sachs and published by The Epic Books Of Dr. Harrison Sachs. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how Fortnite became a global video game phenomenon, explicate how Fortnite changed people’s lives, and expounds upon how to earn revenue as a Fortnite player. Fortnite was able to achieve the stupendous feat of becoming a global video game phenomenon during its incipience. There are a multitude of reasons as to why Fortnite was able to become global video game phenomenon during its genesis as one of the utmost popular video games of all time as of November of 2023. Fortnite’s extreme popularity among gamers is not solely attributed to Fortnite launching as a free-to-play battle royale video game. Fortnite is far more than a conventional battle royale video game. Fortnite has three unique game modes and is one of the utmost popular video games for gamers to watch live stream broadcasts of as of November of 2023. Fortnite not only offers Battle Royale modes, but also offers a sandbox game mode that is called Fortnite Creative. Furthermore, Fortnite also offer a “player versus environment cooperative game mode” that is called “Fortnite: Save The World”. As of November of 2023, Fortnite has gained significant traction as the utmost popular free-to-play battle royale video game of all time. Live stream broadcasts of Fortnite battle royale matches have accrued substantial concurrent views. Fortnite became all the more popular as a video game to watch live stream broadcasts of shortly after “Drake the rapper joined one of Twitch's most popular gaming streamers, Ninja, for a Fortnite game. The stream set an all-time record for highest number of concurrent views” (Lorenz, 2018). “Fortnite holds the record for the most videos related to a video game uploaded in a single month to YouTube. Fortnite even set a record for biggest single live gaming stream on YouTube with more than 1,100,000 live viewers” (Lorenz, 2018). An exorbitant amount of Fortnite gameplay videos on YouTube have been able to summarily build substantial traction and swiftly attained viral video status. The appeal of Fortnite among gamers can be partially attributed to the popularity of live stream broadcasts of battle royale video games. Epic Games was able to develop an exhilarating battle royale video game that furnishes live streamers with a frictionless live stream broadcasting experience not only because Fortnite is easily accessible to live streamers due to it being a free-to-play battle royale video game, but also because Fortnite has customizable graphics quality settings and is also able to provide substantial downtime to live streamers during their live stream broadcast sessions of Fortnite battle royale matches. Downtime during live stream broadcast sessions of Fortnite battle royale matches transpires when the live streamer is not in the fray of combat when partaking in Fortnite battle royale matches which furnishes him with ample time to be able to communicate with the viewers of his live stream broadcasts during his live stream broadcast sessions. Live streamers should aim to be engaging during their live stream broadcast sessions by frequently confabulating with their viewers during their live stream broadcast sessions since neglecting to communicate with their viewers during their live stream broadcast sessions can adversely impact their concurrent viewership levels on their live stream broadcast sessions. Having low concurrent viewership levels on their live stream broadcast sessions can undermine a live streamer’s earning potential if it results in him forgoing generating additional potential advertisement revenue, forgoing generating additional potential subscription revenue, and forgoing generating additional potential donation revenue. Live streamers are able to interact with their viewers amid their live stream broadcast sessions as they are roaming around the spacious battle royale island map in Fortnite battle royale matches. The capacious battle royale island map in Fortnite battle royale matches is devoid of non-playable characters and is mostly desolated. Epic Games, the publisher and developer of Fortnite, has played a pivotal role in contributing to the surge of popularity in the battle royale video game subgenre via the seamless integration of the battle royale game modes in Fortnite. Epic Games has also integrated elements of a survival video game into the battle royale game modes in Fortnite. In the battle royale game modes in Fortnite, players need to cope with having access to an infinitesimal amount of resources on the spacious battle royale island map in Fortnite battle royale matches while they are attempting to survive the Fortnite battle royale matches.

Download or read book Assetization written by Kean Birch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the asset—anything that can be controlled, traded, and capitalized as a revenue stream—has become the primary basis of technoscientific capitalism. In this book, scholars from a range of disciplines argue that the asset—meaning anything that can be controlled, traded, and capitalized as a revenue stream—has become the primary basis of technoscientific capitalism. An asset can be an object or an experience, a sum of money or a life form, a patent or a bodily function. A process of assetization prevails, imposing investment and return as the key rationale, and overtaking commodification and its speculative logic. Although assets can be bought and sold, the point is to get a durable economic rent from them rather than make a killing on the market. Assetization examines how assets are constructed and how a variety of things can be turned into assets, analyzing the interests, activities, skills, organizations, and relations entangled in this process. The contributors consider the assetization of knowledge, including patents, personal data, and biomedical innovation; of infrastructure, including railways and energy; of nature, including mineral deposits, agricultural seeds, and “natural capital”; and of publics, including such public goods as higher education and “monetizable social ills.” Taken together, the chapters show the usefulness of assetization as an analytical tool and as an element in the critique of capitalism.

Download or read book User Centric Studies in Game Translation and Accessibility written by Mikołaj Deckert and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative collection makes the case for a push within the discipline to adopt user-centric perspectives on translated video games and their corresponding accessibility features. The volume demonstrates how audiovisual translation (AVT) and media accessibility (MA) involve decisions that can re-shape the gaming experience of players and other audiences. Contributions in the book outline this in two ways. First, they collectively provide an account of the prospects and challenges that come with user-centric scholarly inquiry in game translation and accessibility. Second, complementarily, they report on original studies and new, exciting findings while adopting the perspective of global users. Taken together, the collection serves as a call to action to systematically advance research eliciting variable types of input from users who take advantage of translation and accessibility services. Such research will facilitate a clearer understanding of how the particular decisions of translators and other relevant agents shape game reception. This book will be of interest to scholars in both translation studies and video game research, as well as those interested in media accessibility and media studies more broadly.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon.”—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker • The New York Times Book Review • Time • NPR • The Economist • The Paris Review • Toronto Star • GQ • The Times Literary Supplement • The New York Public Library • Kirkus Reviews It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation. An “epoch-defining book” (The Guardian) and “this generation’s Silent Spring” (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it—the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress. The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation—today’s. LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD “The Uninhabitable Earth is the most terrifying book I have ever read. Its subject is climate change, and its method is scientific, but its mode is Old Testament. The book is a meticulously documented, white-knuckled tour through the cascading catastrophes that will soon engulf our warming planet.”—Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times “Riveting. . . . Some readers will find Mr. Wallace-Wells’s outline of possible futures alarmist. He is indeed alarmed. You should be, too.”—The Economist “Potent and evocative. . . . Wallace-Wells has resolved to offer something other than the standard narrative of climate change. . . . He avoids the ‘eerily banal language of climatology’ in favor of lush, rolling prose.”—Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “The book has potential to be this generation’s Silent Spring.”—The Washington Post “The Uninhabitable Earth, which has become a best seller, taps into the underlying emotion of the day: fear. . . . I encourage people to read this book.”—Alan Weisman, The New York Review of Books

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What explains the massive worldwide success of video games such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Pokémon Go? Game companies and their popularity are poorly understood and often ignored from the standpoint of traditional business strategy. Yet this industry generates billions in revenue by thinking creatively about digital distribution, free-to-play content, and phenomena like e-sports and live streaming. What lessons can we draw from its major successes and failures about the future of entertainment? One Up offers a pioneering empirical analysis of innovation and strategy in the video game industry to explain how it has evolved from a fringe activity to become a mainstream form of entertainment. Joost van Dreunen, a widely recognized industry expert with over twenty years of experience, analyzes how game makers, publishers, and platform holders have tackled strategic challenges to make the video game industry what it is today. Using more than three decades of rigorously compiled industry data, he demonstrates that video game companies flourish when they bring the same level of creativity to business strategy that they bring to game design.
