## What Jamie wrote

It’s clear to me that online multiplayer games like Fortnite are not *just* games, but are something bigger. What that bigger is I don't know. It’s not my wheelhouse but I know that people spend a lot of time engaging friends via these platforms. This concert from [Marshmello](https://marshmellomusic.com) *inside* of the game is an interesting example of how this can extend beyond traditional gaming. 🤔
