    @ThecamtrainR6 games are innately addictive and it preys on people with poor money management and time management, theyre made to be fun sure but many games as a service like fortnite have systems that make you want to say “one more game”

  • nieves_charline 🤍👁️‍🗨️ (@nieves_charline) reported

    One thing I hate the most playing Fortnite is when you think your gonna win a W you end up winning an L instead 😭🙄 it’s the lagging for me🥊

  • _L1ch_ ⚔️L1ch💀 (@_L1ch_) reported

    @distophic @ICARUSLIV3S oh hey at least that issue was resolved I guess, I just never use Epic apart from Unreal Engine & Fortnite so I never even used the cart.

  • OF24com OF24com (@OF24com) reported

    Fortnite is the last game as a service I will dedicate years, it's always a risk when it's something that has a maintenance cost & can be shutdown when it's no longer popular. I don't care about recent payments as they are usually insignificant, my time is my most valuable asset.

    @iamrobtv Losing all my progress in the campaign did it for me. Actually went and played Fortnite which doesn’t seem to have the skill based damage issues and had a good time. Sad.

  • sarahelizbeth12 sarah❀ (@sarahelizbeth12) reported

    @FortniteStatus GeForce is having a time logging into fortnite, can y’all help fix this?????

  • vaugna16 reiko ridge racer (@vaugna16) reported

    "no those guys are right multiplayer shooters suck now" counterpoint: no they don't. Despite what internet dweebs will try to tell you Halo Infinite and Fortnite are in fact very fun. The real problem is playing the same kind of game for 100 hours a week is gonna burn you out

  • GrapesCantMiss avery (@GrapesCantMiss) reported

  • itzDrxzzy Drxzzyツ (@itzDrxzzy) reported

    @notkyrphilantbh I played alot bc I had a glitch were I couldn't play for a year and it finally went away! I play fortnite more recently but beginning of year was apex. I expected fortnite to be more

  • Ponstar33 JT Panda (@Ponstar33) reported

    @MrBeast Well I would play but after a Fortnite update, my laptop will not run it. It ran it fine for several months and after they did a update several months back, all it does is crash, and I never changed anything on the game or my laptop.

  • Magic_0ne Magic_0ne (@Magic_0ne) reported

    @FortniteGame Also from what I was able to gather it looks to be an issue with DirectX 12 causing the game to load high amounts of shaders UPON ENTERING A MATCH!!! NO STOP!!! You should be compiling the shaders and storing them somewhere on the disk!!! Like what ********!?
