intellectual property is managed by the mlk junior estate not the center which are two separate entities the estate of martin luther king jr is controlled by bernice king and her two brothers dexter king and martin luther king iii but the one who's really running things the chief executive is dexter king and the difference between the estate and the center is that the estate is for profit whereas the center isn't bernice runs the non-profit mlk center dexter is the chief executive for the for-profit estate and is spotlighted by kotaku's article here the center remains separate from the estate and they have butted heads before and the estate is the one who happens to directly own king's works and most recently cut a deal to turn publishing rights for its literary archive over to harper collins and they were the ones to sign whatever deal they signed with epic games and time to host this event and no doubt there was money that was thrown around and exchanged and you know that just tarnishes stuff like this when there is corporate agendas at play as well so what you're left with is a fortnight event that epic games try to make something that should be taken seriously but it's being seen more as satire because of the venue itself fortnite which is goofy and violent on top of a lack of foresight on the part of epic games when it comes to emotes and cosmetics that has led to this event being laughed at more than being seen as something really dignified i don't know if epic games intends to try something like this again but i'll once again bring up the analogy about how just like not all events can be hosted at chuck e cheese i don't believe all kinds of events can be hosted on fortnight because of that tonal dissonance so maybe it's best to leave celebrations like this to venues where something like this can come across more seriously and more gracefully but that's just one man's take on everything let me know in the comments below what your thoughts and opinions are on epic games martin luther king jr event for fortnite whether you were there what you experienced or what your general take is based on what you've heard from folks share your thoughts below and to be further updated on all things gaming news reviews and discussions stay tuned right here on young yeah i'll see you guys next time young out
