The mention of Fortnite was inevitable given the game's unprecedented success - though it was more surprising to hear Activision Blizzard's Chief Financial Officer Spencer Neumann mention it in relation to revenue. After reporting on the company's better-than-expected first quarter earnings, Neumann noted that the company has "seen some near-term impact from Battle Roya
