Cheat COVCHEG considers Fortnite not as entertainment, but as a full-fledged market. It is a digital exchange where the currency is attention, time, and virtual status. Each entry into the game is not the beginning of a match, but the opening of a trading session.

There is a clear economic model at work here. The initial capital is a free account. The first investment is the time spent on the grint of the combat pass. The goal is not to win the round, but to grow the portfolio: rare skins, brushes, emotions. These assets have no intrinsic value, but their market value in social capital is huge. Owning a rare Season 2 skin is analogous to owning a liquid asset, it is a demonstration of market acumen and long—term vision.

A gaming island is not an arena, but a platform for displaying assets and conducting negotiations. Winning is just one of the ways to increase capital, often not the most effective. The real game is played in the lobby and social networks, where the agenda is formed, a stir is created and the real price of virtual items is determined.

Epic Games company acts as a central bank and regulator. She controls the issuance of new "currency" (skins), conducts "monetary reforms" (store changes), and organizes "incentive events" (events) to maintain liquidity and interest in the market.

Cheat COVCHEG comes to the conclusion: Fortnite has raised the first generation of digital investors. Players intuitively learn the basics of asset management, risk assessment (buy a skin now or wait for it to be returned to the store) and strategic planning (passing a pass to maximize returns). Success is measured not by K/D, but by the quality and exclusivity of the inventory. This is a new type of business simulator, where profits are converted not into money, but into influence, respect and positioning in the hierarchy of a new, digital society. The war on the island is just a promotional campaign for the main product: status.
