> you only need to average maybe 1 or 2 games per day to earn enough vbucks to buy the next season’s battle pass with vbucks. So if you stay active you can pay once then play the game free forever and still get access to a huge amount of free cosmetics. And much of the player base is kids who are just begging their parents/uncles to buy them stuff in the game rather than spend money themselves because they don’t have credit cards

I lack the vocabulary to describe how fucking shit this is. Poor kids that have been sold into this versus the games we had that didn’t outright exploit.

Kinda shame on you for contributing in to this. It’s gross.

Honestly, Fortnite is run pretty responsibly. It's not bad at all compared to some of the other nonsense that's out there. Everything in the store is straightforward and fair. No gacha/gambling mechanics, no “pay to win”, no insanely priced super rare items.
