  I will agree with that. Its just the best comparison I can personally make for buying digital assets. But while my total Fortnite spend is like, maybe $200, my SL spend is probably $1000+ at this point.

  The best comparison I have is Second Life, which I have played pretty regularly for 20 years now. I will impulse buy so much digital cosmetic shit when it cost the equivilant of $1. I think Indid the math once because its easy to pull your fransaction history there, and I have spent like 4-5x what I spent on Fortnite, and thats including the passes in Fortnite because they tend to be an excellent value compared to everhthing else bringing everything in it down to that “$1 range”

  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.

  The only thing that feels useful in these features is the lighting and I achived that in my LEGO city by picking up some of those wired micro LED strings at Dollar Tree and running them between the floors of the buildings.

  I dount they see it that way. More fingers and lockdown means more DRM. I feel like alot of things like removing headphone jacks and pushing to more data connection and not just video for monitors is part of a lomg term attempt to kill the “analog hole”.

  Bing is basically the only search engine that doesn’t actively censor our porn results. Its impossible to find videos for shit on Google even with “safe search” turned off.

  Yes. I want an old school sewrch engine that JUST does blogs and small websites. And no “Big News Website Blogs”. Just random people on Wordpress and Blogger, etc.

  I was browsing a Geocities archive the other day and its just like, fuck I miss when the web was just fun and random people making dumb websites about random shit.
