    This doesn’t end well for anyone does it?

    Did epic not have enough money already? Was fort night not printing it quickly enough?

      Taking a stake is different than buying it out. To me this is Disney trying to get better deals for their characters/properties to be in FN, while also raking profits on both ends.

      I don’t know what their bottom line was, but during the pandemic Epic was just pouring money out to snag up the top engineers in the industry.
