I'm a millennial.

I don't like the game. Don't care that others enjoy it. Good for them. They're having fun.

You didn't have standards. You just didn't have options. The F2P model didn't really exist then (not like it does now), so the idea of continuously sinking money into games wasn't even on the table.

It is also worth noting that most genuine money pit games tend not to do so well outside of their handful of whales. The F2P games that really take off are ones where you don't need to spend much (if anything) to have a good time. People are a whole lot more willing to pay for something if they're already having a good time with it.

I mean, I guess the equivalent when I was that age was Runescape, and that was subscription based if you wanted to have any modicum of fun.

I have no opinion where Fortnite is concerned, since it requires online multiplayer, which is generally not for me. (I loved Awesomenauts, but it got too salty for me; MOBAs and the like are not a genre I enjoy.)

And even that wasn't a F2P model like we see today. That was a game with a free version and a paid version.

it isnt any different from any online game psychology-wise.


Except it's free, there's no gear to grind for, instant action, no reward except the struggle to be #1.

I don't know. I'm personally not interested in playing Fortnite but I can recognize that it's a good game and it seems very polished.

You mean, no reward except for winning. Some people like to win in games. It's how some of them have fun...

I think a lot of people don't realize that the game is free. If I was a kid I'd probably be all about playing crappy games just because they don't cost anything.

I, for one, could not care any less about fortnite.

This. I don't hate the game. I just feel nothing for it because I don't care for it.

Never played the game or seen the game. I know nothing beyond its a multiplayer game, it's free and is popular. And that people hate it and the people who like it.

I agree, people need to grow up. Someone likes something you don't? Big whoop.
I get the people being annoyed at it being everywhere (granted I haven't gotten any advertisements or seen it much both on and offline) since then it is something you don't like being shoved into your faced or spammed, but people who dislike those who like it seems silly and very petty.

I've played better and seen worse. I was fully into UT back in the day and while I'm not going to start building in this one at least I can keep my FPS skills up until the next decent shooter releases. Doom Eternal probably?

Yeah I always say maps go a long way towards extending replay value but here despite it being one map you'll see different areas almost each time. And then they change shit too. I don't like the randomness of the weapons as my chances of picking up bandages or useless bricks are way higher than anything that shoots stuff. The challenges give ya something to work towards, it doesn't cost anything as long as you resist the costumes.

Pssh, skill-less brats. Rage quitters and trash talkers is all they are. Even if I'm older that just means I've earned (and kept) more skills. I'll sew their ass to their face.

This. Throw the first stone those that never wasted their time with flash games because they were free, even though they pale in comparison to other games.

Some free flash games are better than paid games.
