In other news, 'Fortnite' developers are taking a break
Amid concerns of overwork and employee burnout, Fortnite's developer Epic Games is taking a break from June 24 to July 8. This is the first time that the company is taking a second break in one year but is well-deserved because its employees are working day-in and day-out. Fortnite, however, will not be affected by this and will continue updating as usual.
