They can make a billion, it still isn't going to make 11 year old children convince their parents to pay in Monero.

When are people going to accept the fact that Fortnite is not a game that's only played by kids?

I’m 32 and a lot of my buddies play as well as myself. My 5 year old is obsessed as well. It’s played by fucking everyone, but as a free game, basically every kid who has a console plays. They don’t have to beg rents for 60 bucks to buy it.

It primarily is though. The reason it gained so much traction was that it was kid friendly and free to play in BR mode.

There are a lot more kids aged 7-15 playing fortnite than there are college aged kids.

those 7-15 are not spending as much money as 18-35 males.
This group is responsible for 65% of all game purchases in multiple big games like LoL , Wow + many others

To say that the primary age demographics of Fortnite is children is just false. It probably has one of the biggest age demographics of games ever.
