I caught my nephew and his friends doing a series of funny looking dances and curiously asked if those were the freshest moves in town and what names they went by. With names like Chicken, Take the L, Fresh and one that I took a liking to dubbed Floss, my curiosity drew me into the evolved world of gaming that is many light years ahead from what my teenage self, experienced in 2D.

You see, these dance moves are among many found on Fortnite a title by development studio Epic Games. Only released in 2017, this free-to-play game has gained a cult-like status growing to over 125 million players and is on track to hit two billion dollars in revenues this year from virtual goods.
