    Unfunny Fortnite was a test run by Epic Games Incorporated. We thank you for your valued service on this account.

  • TimMEsports Tim Masters (@TimMEsports) reported

    @bcarr Yeah, the problem is always preference vs objectivity. I think its hard to argue Fortnite isn't the greatest br ever by a lot of measures, but i like Apex a lot more.

  • JonnyHimself_ Jonny. (@JonnyHimself_) reported

  • UwUlilspoonie lilspoonie (@UwUlilspoonie) reported

    Fortnite crew is kinda broken ngl

  • AndrewDvorak7 Andrew Dvorak (@AndrewDvorak7) reported

    @iDecypherr I feel like these screen shots were taken with a bias opinion... Apex zone should be less bright and Fortnite zone is way worse than that. Fix your apex brightness.

  • SwearinRodgers Kory (@SwearinRodgers) reported

    Still loaded into Fortnite tho because I have issues

  • JakeTheTax Jake The Tax (@JakeTheTax) reported

    @IGN jeez i see no one mention Apex it isn't dead ofc but I don't think this is better than Fortnite I tried Apex but I get into lobbies of people that played Apex for like 2 years Fortnite's sbmm is way more balanced than Apex's sbmm cause Apex's sbmm is broken so I didn't enjoy it

  • VeXzy18174381 VeXzy (@VeXzy18174381) reported

    @CactusTravisSc1 I’m just saying because ppl were saying Travis and Fortnite had legal issues I would not think trAvis would add his fortnite skin to the discord chat

    @FortniteGame Yo, I can't open my Fortnite on ps4, is everyone on ps4 having the same problem?

  • ArtikMasterson Artik Masterson (@ArtikMasterson) reported

    Laid out before me? What? You think that because Cyberpunk can release a few years too early and "fix" their game that you can too? People can fly isn't CDPR, no, people can fly are the ones that had a hand in FORTNITE. I don't trust that bullshit as far as I can throw it.

  • ArtikMasterson Artik Masterson (@ArtikMasterson) reported

    If someone told me "Hey the guys that did fortnite are gonna make a game with square enix" I'd call them crazy. Yet here we are. These "fixes" are causing MORE problems. Not to mention the latest tweet from outriders where they tell you to make a new character to work around the

  • ZefyrosTB Zefyros (@ZefyrosTB) reported

    @ohloti_ Main problem i have is that people who aren't even to send a normal formal email, write proper English or whatever are handling t2+ Fortnite Pro's their business/career and obviously Fortnite players will never understand this since 90%+ of them are simply stupid.

  • ianpatterson99 Ian Patterson (@ianpatterson99) reported

    @benedictevans It’s also now likely that to avoid any user device distribution costs and issues, we see more streaming services. If you can stream Fortnite like GeForce Now then you can stream Excel. See also Mighty and it’s streaming Chrome service .

  • AnasFN6 AREA (@AnasFN6) reported

    ugh i hate. Fortnite so much there is broken guns in the game no fun sever are bad as heck like how am i gonna enjoy the ******* game for god sack man

  • AwesomeSoulCal1 Genius SoulCalibur Facts (@AwesomeSoulCal1) reported

    @ShotgunOtaku fair but I'd have a huge issue because of kids just talking about how he's a fortnite skin and it would become way harder to find actual SoulCalibur stuff

  • MissSherylanne Sherylanne Green (@MissSherylanne) reported

    Is @FortniteGame having issues or is it just mine? Keeps logging me out and saying I’ve signed in on another device. But I haven’t.

  • EcScythe Sycthe (36-27) (@EcScythe) reported

    Fortnite Comic Book issue #2 should be available in 2 days! (May 4th)

  • PhysicsSwitch Fortnite Switch Physics (@PhysicsSwitch) reported

    @GamingSheepy @FortniteGame They obviously can make capes work correctly as evidenced by Thor’s cloak and Dr. Doom’s cape among others. There’s a difference between a little clipping and a cape literally moving through the entire skin. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if they can fix this.
