A Common Foe as Videogame Stocks Stumble: ‘Fortnite’Videogame stocks tumbled after two of the industry’s biggest publishers showed how difficult it is to escape the long shadow of “Fortnite.” Realistically games don’t cost $60 anymore. Prices have gone up and games come out in phases. $60, $20 DLC, $20 DLC, Etc. Developers are earning their money over time.
