  Sweeney said it’s due to the "downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we’re spending significantly more than we’re making,

  As someone who used to play a lot of Fortnite, I basically stopped because theybrefused to fix all of the glaring problems with the game. I am sure dumping devs will help with that.

  • Matchmaking is complete ass.
  • Just add the ability to play vs bots with no humans
  • Stop trying to optimize experience gains for fucking making me have to play 20 hours a weeknto unlock the battlepass I already bought within the 3 month window. Seriously, fucking stop, I have other things to do in life too.
  • Constantly raising prices on everything. Its digital, supply is infinite, charge like $5 max and I would buy 100x more. As is, I buy nothing, because $25+ skins and $8 Jam tracks are a rip off.

  The main one is the third one though. They don’t respect my time, I stop playing. The shit matchmaking would be solved by the second point.

    I’m sure your mental health is doing a lot better after getting out of Fortnite.

    The worst part about all these games. It’s like your weed guy blowing up your phone telling you its time to smoke another J. Only a group of sales guys coked off their asses could have come up with this as a marketing gimmick.

    I have no interest in playing against hackers or no lifes who run everything with Potato mode graphics and swest skins who play 24x7 and have 2000 crown wins by day 2.

    The truly crazy part about this group is that it is increasingly just bots. Like, not even proper “professional gamers” anymore. Just scripts running on a server built by a madman.
