The superstar DJ/producer is putting all the criticism he has received to rest…
All these people tweeting about “oh this person did this back in 1965” or “this was done before” I get it but no one has done it to this magnitude besides @FortniteGame who else had a full interactive set where over 10 million players got to play?

This concert was about gaming and music really coming together and allowing so many different possibilities in the future…enough with the haters

Certainly, what Fortnite players witnessed this weekend has never happened to this scale — to this magnitude. Marshmello, along with Epic Games, made something special that a generation will remember for years to come.
Was it the first ever? No. Either way, history was made.
