“Skins are not the point of fortnite” You’re absolutely right. The point of fortnite is to make (BILLIONS) a Season and 37 Seasons later @ 40 BILLION DOLLARS and counting gives these EVIL Companies no incentive to produce legitimate products.
Gone are the days were Companies actually made (Good Honest Video Games). Now companies hire behavioralists/psychologists to manipulate kids and casuals alike into spending, Not Playing. Not only that Fortnite extorts their payer base as well, which lead to a Lawsuit by the FTC:
(Epic had to pay more than half a billion dollars for criminal behaviour)
ftc.gov/…/fortnite-video-game-maker-epic-games-pa…
(privacy violations, dark patterns and unwanted charges, especially targeting kids and teens).
So (Not So) Epic “Games” are not “epic” at all! And companies like this are a poor representation of what our Gaming Hobby use to be. These are no longer Video Games. They’re Applications designed to Rob & psychologically manipulate the unsuspecting youth/ casuals into a (ENDLESS Pit Of PROFIT). Don’t shoot the messenger all of this is well documented… Look it up!

“Fortnite generates significant revenue each season, with estimates suggesting it can earn hundreds of millions of dollars monthly, contributing to over $20 billion in revenue for 2022 alone.”

Happy Shopping, Payer$!

Whats “Free” when the point of said (APP) is locked behind pay-walls!? Modern day “gaming” sucks, paying for content that was once earned through gameplay is NOT Rewarding nor Gaming, it’s essentially Online Shopping. Fortnite is a Freemium Application which utilizes (In app purchase mechanics/ psychology) to lure in ‘Payer$’. Particularly the Youth which are more impressionable.
Why don’t you do some research on your beloved Applications:
The psychology of in-app purchase South Park: season 18 Episode 6 (Freemium isn’t Free) HOW microtransactions ruined gaming HOW Season Passes ruined gaming HOW Battle Passes ruined gaming HOW Live Services ruined gaming
Battle passes are replacing loot boxes, but they’re not necessarily a better deal:

Our Hobby is COOKED over Greed & Ignorance.

What The CREATOR calls “ABOMINATION” is nothing to be proud of.
It’s ALL Systematic! We 're ALL equals, no Sentient Being is perfect, no parades/ special months needed. Divide & Conquer= Ordo Ab Chao.

Exactly! Rewarding bad behavior is a understatement in this case. I grew up with Nintendo but as it stands they’re a disgusting corporation in which I want nothing to do with! They LITERALLY ruined Lives! I suggest every Gamer researches NintenDONTs dark history.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 4 weeks ago:
And this is why The Gaming Industry is in COMPLETE turmoil! Sheeple literally reward the most abysmal business practices. Which in turn ruins it for everyone.
If a dog was to bite your hand would you immediately offer it a treat?

This CRASH is NOT a “Game”… It’s (Shopping). And the reasons why our beloved hobby is riddled with GREED.

My motto is (“Don’t reward bad behavior”) if a dog bites you you won’t give it a treat. So why should we reward nintenDONT for shady Anti-Gaming practices?!
NintenDONT just shot themselves in the foot cause although the price of admission increased the Eye Patches are FREE🏴☠️
