Eight years on from the initial release of Fortnite, Epic Games has announced major changes coming to the free-to-play online game. From December, it will allow creators to make and sell in-game items and to pay for more exposure in a new 'sponsored row' of islands.
It's an opportunity for Fortnite to creators to gain new revenue, but fans of the game are divided over whether the move is something to be welcomed. Some fear that big-earning creators will benefit more and that there will be a deluge of AI slop and even scams (see our guide to the best game development software if you planning to work on creating your own game).
