Most people have rave reviews of Marshmello‘s performance inside of Fortnite that took place over the weekend. However, he’s catching a little flak for saying the live virtual concert was the “first ever” of its kind.
Here’s the original post he tweeted out following the massive performance, which brought in 10 million players from all over the world…
We made history today! The first ever live virtual concert inside of @fortnite with millions of people in attendance. So insane, thank you epic games and everyone who made this possible! pic.twitter.com/xdaNGnyMr9

Here are some of the responses…
Wrong.
First one was done by Monstercat crew years ago on Minecraft.
But hey, this was sick nonetheless

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?

And to all the haters, he says…
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.
