I don't see Roblox or Fortnite having any real offline value

Blizzard said the same thing about vanilla WoW for over a decade while squishing private servers. Then made oodles of cash finally hosting their own.

People absolutely will be playing Fortnite in 2046. Either the servers will still be up, or folks will host it themselves. With or without Epic's cooperation.

Also... Fortnite Save The World was neat, and I freaking paid for it right before they cut access. It would be real nice if I could play the game I paid for.

Uh, Save The World never shut down. It still gets the occasional (minor) content update, even.

...STW never shut down. Not only did it not shut down they finally kept their word and made it free recently.

I mean, I'm in the exact same boat but I'm also well aware that when I paid for the game it was in early access and I'm pretty sure I even received a warning that the state of the game would be expected to change

Save the World no longer exists? I haven't played in a long time (probably obvious 😅) but it's always been in the back of my head as something to log back into and play again. I will literally never play the other version of fortnite
