The Fortnite-ification of Games will continue until morale improves.

Can we really call that Fortnite-ification when games have done this type of thing for a long time.  Adding guess characters within games isn't something Fortnite started.

True, but it popularized it to the nth degree.  I still remember Soul Caliber II including Link with Gamecube along with Darth Vader and Yoda on Playstation and Xbox.  There have been scores of mainstream media cross-pollinations before, but Fortnite feels like the first one to make that central to its DNA *as* an IP (in my view).  Hell, some of its newer mechanics were literally reserved until the next new property - Marvel, Star Wars, etc. - were announced for its latest update.  

It feels like the first to fully capture Ready Player One's deluge of nerd cameos as central to the plot.
