Do they have a stake in Fortnite somehow specifically/separate from their stake in Epic Games?

Instead of listing the publisher/studio (Epic, Riot, etc) he's just listing their games directly.

They don’t own things they’re not the majority owner of.

They are the Berkshire Hathaway of everything, to be honest. They invest in and acquire minority stakes in hundreds of companies.
