But then <strong>they noticed &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/pubg-developer-comments-overdare-details\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Player Unknown&#8217;s Battlegrounds<\/a>&#8216;, which brought together a hundred people in each match<\/strong>. Who wouldn&#8217;t want so many people playing your video game at the same time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then the magic happened, on an Uber trip. It&#8217;s as simple as that: on the way to Disney, they decided to bring back the original team, put a Battle Royale in &#8216;Fortnite&#8217; and turn it into a success. There was only one problem: the meeting was in three hours and they needed a document to guide people on what to do. And so, <strong>in the back seat of an Uber, they wrote the foundations<\/strong> of what we now know as &#8216;Fortnite&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fortnite Battle Royale - Gameplay Trailer | PS4\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WJW-bzXZM8M?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how? What was going to differentiate them? What was the starting point? While they were asking themselves, a school bus slipped by their side in the traffic, and they thought: that&#8217;s it. Decided. <strong>The players are going to ride a bus through the sky, and jump wherever they want on the map<\/strong>. Yes, okay, it all started with a copy of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/this-game-just-banned-more-than-16000-players-in-just-one-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">&#8216;PUBG&#8217;<\/a>, but&#8230; What game doesn&#8217;t copy another, even a little, to evolve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can learn a lesson from all this: when you ride in the back of an Uber, instead of looking at your phone, look out the windows: <strong>you never know when you&#8217;ll come up with the idea that will make you a millionaire!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Fortnite\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/0725c9ce-2e53-43a3-b740-39e0f5c20693\/3874670110\/fortnite-Download-Fortnite.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Fortnite<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/fortnite.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/fortnite.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s as simple as that: on their way to Disney, they decided to reunite the original team, put a Battle Royale in &#8216;Fortnite&#8217;, and turn it into a success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9263,"featured_media":279089,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":1},"categories":[1015],"tags":[2532,1668,1888],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-279087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-app-subdomain-redirectionfortnite","tag-fortnite","tag-pubg"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9263"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279087"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":313617,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/279087\/revisions\/313617"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/279089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=279087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=279087"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=279087"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=279087"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=279087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
