      The game had stabilized into a fun formula. It’s still pretty popular account kids. I play with other middle-aged dads and have a good time.

      My best friend got me playing it, he started playing it with his 6 year old son. But since my friend died last year I only play when his son calls me to join him. Hearing this news I will be canceling my subscription however.

        When did fortnite become a subscription based system? Are you talking about the battle pass they have for a season? Or am I just behind on the times?

          It is still totally free to play, but there is the battle pass and you can pay a monthly subscription to get a skin, coins, and the battle pass for free.

              You can get the battlepass through in-game money (950 v-bucks/season). I was gifted my first battlepass and a skin by stream mates years ago and I haven’t paid a single cent to Fortnite.

                But you pay for the subscription, which includes the battle pass , a skin and some coins.

                Like i pay for my shopping, which includes a block of cheese, some bread and butter. But it’s totally free to eat…

                  This person literally just means “for no additional charge” but typed free. They understand, they just don’t care. This is just unnecessary and pedantic.

                    Ok. It’s not what they said, but if you are sure they meant what you are saying, then fine. I understand.

                    I just prefer when people say what they mean and own a mistake when they are called out on it.

                    A similar tactic has Amazon in legal crosshairs. Free shipping for prime members is now being seen in a different light.

            I remember when there was a modding community that would make custom skins and maps for free.

        As far as I can tell, this doesn’t have anything to do with Epic Games, the developers. Shell was paying twitch streamers directly to promote their initiative through playing Fortnite.

      My nephew and his friends has been obsessed with it for a year now. He’s 9. They are still releasing seasons and skins I have to buy for him. The relatively recent Futurama ones were cool.
