Fortnite Creator is Buying Thousands of Acres of Forest to Stop It From Being Cut Down

Looks like games are what's popular here, eh? Lots worse things a person could be doing than staying home playing games!

For some strange reason this reminded me of the Russian kid playing fortnite that chainsawed his own head off.

Good at least one game company is using their profits for the great wealth of life.

Oh hell yeah! I love the Smokies, they're my home. That's what I would do with that kind of money.

Wtf is video game

I am a UE4 developer myself... only got back into it after a 15 year hiatus.

Good on him. Unreal is free to use until you make something like 500k with it and then you have to pay licensing.

Really good people at that company for sure.

This is a project I am working on in UE4, posted it recently so sorry for redundancy.

Is it the company really because they're partially owned by the Chinese state and Chinese are well known environment destroyers. China are in some places a polluted dangerous place.

Looks more like it's this dudes own money.

Look into Tencent, that's the Chinese partial owner in all that, 40%.
Very Evil company Disney is another owner in this.

Bad vibes all around.

Me too!

Then the Forest burnt down because of mismanagement....

Well, if he puts his own money in then that's even better.

They are turning it into a real life Wailing Woods

It’s his money, he can spend it any way he wants.
Land always appreciates, I am sure his inheritors will appreciate the gesture when they sell it for condos and Interstate ramps.

Reminds me of my home where I grew up.... Torn down for condos and businesses.

That actually happened?

How is that possible?

There's no way.

HMMMMM...Wonder if he quit using toilet paper too? Now that would be commitment...

Incredibly sad.

Was this a joke about the boy who suicided with chain saw? I do hope not.

Good going, Tim Sweeney, dumb-dumbs such as yourself don't know a darn thing about proper forestry. You'll artificially and deliberately raise lumber prices and other associated prices because you're a rich dumb-dumb. Congratulations... I guess...

The thing that is worrisome is these people are almost all aligning, rank and file with the radical leftist agendas.

Who knows, they might just start working with the Gulan schools and turn it into a giant jihadi training compound lol

Where is the wheat?

I really want to say this is a good thing, but a couple of things came to mind.

Trying too hard to save certain habitats is a big part of what happened in the CA fires that destroyed it. Or maybe it was part of the plan.

Maybe by buying up the forest and making it all private land, it may help in driving people into the cities per Agenda 21/2030.

But what do i know? I'm not rich, except maybe more so in common sense than a lot of people supposedly "in the know".

until he sells it in five years when he's broke... lol stupid environmentalists.


It's about conservationism not Extreme environmentalism.

All they do is inhibit progress and keep us dependent on fossil fuels instead of nuclear power.

Good, now if we can get the kids pried away from Fortnite and playing again in the forests, then it would have been great even!

He is obviously saving some forest to save some area for virtual reality Fortnite in his own real forest.
