Epic Games' announcement of an extended downtime for Fortnite’s next major update highlights the pivotal role of game maintenance in maintaining player engagement and revenue streams. Extended outages disrupt concurrent users' playtime, potentially leading to lost in-game purchases, subscription cancellations, and a decline in overall player spending. Moreover, prolonged downtime can adversely affect the game’s reputation and search engine rankings, diminishing future traffic and potential revenue.
