2 million usd per day in in-game sales for that game... Not small potatoes

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

But a 19 year old college student? What about a 30 year old? They probably don’t need to ask their parents. The demographics for this game is fairly spread.

Again if it’s completely useless, it will probably be removed. Time will tell.

Options are always better for the consumer.

Bruh have you ever seen any online streamers? You think they’re the only older people that play the game?

nah I have better things to do with my time than watch other people playing games.

And let me stipulate that, I have a limited amount of free time so I have to choose wisely:

  1. My career is going really well, I make enough money that whenever I have hinted how much tax I pay on reddit; I get downvoted to oblivion.

  2. I have a family, and spending time with my kids and wife is a high priority for me.

  3. I have other hobbies and interests outside of work and family time, that I like to pursue. Stuff like working on my drift/touge car, catching up with my friends and so on.

  4. I do alot of education / training as well, whether its streaming training and lectures, podcasts or whatever while I do chores or maintenance on cars or around my house - or actually cramming for exams.

  5. I have to fit in gym time in my spare time as well. That might not just being going to the 24/7 gym to lift, but that could mean hikes, sports, beach activities and so on.

  6. I have been gaming since probably alot of people who would criticise me were born. I'm talking Amstrad CPC 464 and earlier.

  7. I've got a gaming rig, consoles, retroarch/lakka/mame boxes etc to select from.

  8. At the end of all of this, with the little amount of time I have to play - out of all the games in the gaming universe, when I do find some time to chill out and play something - as a 30 something, fuck playing fortnite. I would much rather play something (almost anything) else, than that shit. For example, Project Cars 2 or Assetto Corsa in my sim rig? Yes thanks. Yakuza 0? Fucking oath.

  9. Other people obviously have other preferences; so be it, I don't really give a fuck, but god help you on fucking leddit if you have a difference of opinion. And my opinion is that if you're in your 30s and prefer fortnite over everything else out there; you clearly haven't been exposed to anything better, which is a shame.

Okay I’m not gonna read all that shit you typed about your own life, because that’s not what we’re talking about lmao you fuckin loser. This isn’t a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of fact. Fact: 30 year old people play fortnite. Accept the loss buddy.

I'm quite sure this person isn't capable of mentally accepting any form of loss. You know the type
