I think this has the potential to be a huge shift if enough developers build games targeting Fortnite players. There's an ecosystem right there to be tapped into, and Epic just happens to be giving you the tools to do it.
My comment was in relation to a highly engaged, key target demographic audience who have an Epic account and they've just handed indie devs around the world much easier access to that audience.
No idea what point you're making, though it seems loaded against Fortnite?
I wouldn't describe Fortnite players as engaged any more than I would describe a gambling den habitant as engaged. In this case the latter is less predatory. It's my prerogative that any time Fortnite is mentioned, it should be reminded that while it is a great profit model, it is also a depressing moral failure.
Pretty much every game needs someone talented in art or design. It can be one of the programmers, of course.
Unreal is not a good choice for a 2D game, anyway.
