>> Thats because thats how you normally get people to give you money.

That's not right. People spend vast amounts of money and time on fun and entertainment hobbies education pleasure and leisure.

You'd think so but let me tell you - the hardest thing in the world is to convince someone to give you money for your product. You can easily get lots of compliments, lots of feedback, lots of positivity, but money? Oh boy. Just try and see how easy it is to find customers.

If you are making entertainment you aren't a startup in any meaningful term, you are an entertainer who is trying to create a hit that requires a very different way of thinking about things.

You are more like a musician.

wouldn't fortnite be a startup if it were independent company ?

Fortnite accidentally became a hit.
