Fortnite Creative
A distribution channel rather than a foundation. Excellent for reaching an audience, unusable as a place to hold an asset.
Scored against the six conditions
Each score has written reasoning, so a disagreement can be with one number rather than with the assessment.
Persistence
Islands persist but can be delisted, and discovery placement is not durable.
Enforceable scarcity
None. An island is a listing, not a holding: no supply cap, no title, and discovery placement is granted rather than owned.
Footfall
An enormous audience already inside the client, one menu away. No open world has offered anything comparable.
A unit that leaves
Revenue sharing exists and pays, on terms the publisher sets and revises.
Standing that travels
Locked to the platform account. Every player you reach remains the publisher's relationship, not yours, on the day you want to leave.
Labour that never sleeps
No scoped-authority model. Automation exists inside the creative toolset; delegated agents operating a venue on your behalf do not.
