I'm pretty sure I read this exact same article around the height of popularity of Second Life - even more so than with Fortnite, since people actually ran their businesses inside Second Life, sold property, held concerts and performances.....and yet we didn't all shift into "cyberspace". I think as successful as Fortnite is, it will eventually fade away like everything else.
Maybe we'll keep seeing this article over and over again, but one year the technology will have reached a critical threshold where "cyberspace" is appealing enough to be a real thing?
