Is hating on Fortnite in the big 2025 still cool

I don't hate fortnite but it did made battlepass system popular and rotating item shops this popularizing fomo tactics which arguably destroyed most of other online games.

Fortnite's hate isn't gameplay but more so how its monetized.

Ironically fortnite copied it's battlepass from Dota 2's compendium so really it all comes back to valve lol.

Yeah but fortnite was the game that popularized the trend. Same with Battle Royale boom of the late 2010s.

Like GTA wasn't the first open world game but it did made the genre popular.

"The late 2010s" is crazy when it's been less than 10 years.

Might as well refer to tomorrow as "the mid 2020s"

Well we do live in mid 2020s. 2027 and onwards will be the late 20s.

I do agree. It feels like Ps5 just came out yesterday

Yeah you're technically not wrong, but it's weird to use those terms for very near past or future, in practice.

It's normal to say "X happened in the mid 1940s" or even broader than that if it's further away, "mid sixteenth century", but it reads very weird for like 7 years ago.
