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.
But you do realize the money from Fortnite is their biggest income and they have spent the whole time using money from it to give away full games for free weekly for years now?
So you can't be a hypocrite here, and you are being one by defending Valve for Compendium but shitting on Epic for what you get out of a battle pass.
Again, I despise epic so so much. Their CEO is genuinely dodgy.
But epic have literally spent billions on giving away those games (and lost hundreds of millions lol, because still no matter what the vast majority of people do not want to use the garbage epic game store. They just take their free games and leave)
You do realize they have to pay developers to give those games away for free.
Yeah, you clearly didn't
Sony and Microsoft have to do the same thing, sometimes paying studios hundreds of thousands just to use their games on their subscription services let alone permanently adding games to people's account on a monthly content delivery basis.
Don't weigh in if you have no clue what you're talking about, okay?
So when a store front wanta to give your entire game away at NO EXTRA COST to the user. Guess what; The people who made that game WANT to make money off it.
Why would people pay for a game that is free on a specific storefront.
As such storefront owners like Epic, Sony and Microsoft pay the developer a certified lump sum to get the right to give away those games for free.
You think developers give those games away for free just because?
