As the thread title says.
Sony invests $250 million in Fortnite maker Epic Games
https://t.co/GSn6QKOmXC
Sony has invested $250 million for a minority stake in Fortnite maker Epic Games, the companies announced today. Epic's games will stay cross-platform.
Expect Tim Sweeny and Epic to talk about how great the PS5’s SSD is for a little while longer.

'If Sony gets any advantage from investing in Epic, it isn’t clear from this deal.'
My thoughts exactly.

I suppose the advantage will become apparent when Sony Movie trailers start to appear in Fortnite alongside Sony music artists doing live gigs.

That'll be it. Epic will throw 'Sony' all over the place.

Presumably Sony largely expects Epic to make absolute Wonga next gen so it's profit driven rather than PS5 exclusive driven

yep, It's not Playstation that has made the investment, It's Sony Corporation.

This has been lost on a lot of people.

And its a very small portion of the value of Epic. Its probably more related to the film and TV side of Sony.
