Comment on Lego Fortnite gets driveable, customisable vehicles in Mechanical Mayhem update

I legitimately don’t understand both the appeal or need for a Lego Fortnite game to exist. For starters, isn’t the point of the game that it’s basically trying to be a sandbox already? And then if the idea is to have Lego characters… Why not add them to the original game? It already has a shit ton of characters from everywhere else.
Obviously the answer is “money” but this seems so stupid and needless, very on brand for Epic.

I haven’t played that much, but it’s essentially survival sandbox in a Lego world. The game has a village mechanic where you do tasks to level up your village and build housing/beds for people who show up similar to Terraria. The game feels like it’s focused around building Lego-style towns with a survival element. The game has prefabs you can buy and put together in the game, but you can also build them yourself without buying them (I think).
The thing I’ve been impressed by is most emotes and characters from Battle Royal carry over into Lego counterparts.
All this said, Minecraft remains king. Fortnite Lego feels very much locked down and I have fears over what happens if Epic lose interest in it. I would be very cautious to invest time in it like you would a Minecraft or Terraria world.
