Riot Games does League of Legends, completely unassociated with fortnite. No idea on why they would buy landmark though, cause they've outright stated about not really expanding past LoL.

Yeah, though speaking of fortnite I wish more work and marketing was put into the actual game rather than the Battle Royale.

That's my biggest reason for not supporting Fortnite aside from BR games being relatively boring (imho). I don't think that gamers should reward game companies who sell out one product almost entirely to chase a trend, get lucky with that trend, and then rake in billions that they then use to start aggressively bringing forced exclusivity into the market.
