So Many Games, So Little Time
There isn't a gamer out there who dreads the single most frustrating problem when it comes to playing video games, time. One can only choose from a vast amount of video games and stick to one for at least a couple of months until you decide to move on to a different one. The urge to switch games has become such a problem that you might get the urge to lose patience and switch to a different one. Today the game that has grasped the attention of 45 million people is none other than Fortnite. It has become such a viral hit that there's even a scholarship on a certain university that grants it to the person who has mastered the game.

However, because of the short life span of some games, the drive to be the company to create the next successful game is high and hopefully they take their time to create a winning game.
