UGC is about to change forever. In the same way all technologies govern and enable the creative, MTX will do the same for Fortnite. Or will it? Alex Seropian (Look World North, The Forth Curtain) joins the cast to discuss UEFN's ability to enable creators to monetize islands directly.

We discuss:

• What new games will emerge with MTX?
• Is UGC IP defensible?
• What exactly is the endgame for UGC studios?
• What's the maximum a Roblox studio earns?
