Why do people hate Fortnite so much?

[Yavin Shikanoko]

Why do people, mainly adults, hate that game so much? I'm 27 and I don't get why many people round my age or older than me hate it. My friends play it but every here and there i see people complaining about it being a kids game and being cringe or idk.

I played once on my Switch but i found it pretty hard to play with the joycons and in it's screen, maybe i should give it a try on PC

1. It was good during the original season 1-4
2. Too many sweats and scammers in Save the world mode
3. Clickbait garbage and cringe content
4. Finally adding overpowered things and nerfing items that should’ve not been nerfed and fortnite now being a metaverse makes it garbage. (Plus it was effecting my mental health when I died on it)

Because people shouldn't enjoy things that are popular. Like life.

It think it's simply because it's not on steam.

Back then PC games is actually a hassle to install. You have multiple disks, CD-ROMs, different types of configurations (sound card, joystick, Dos4gw, IRQ5, DMA1, ports, etc), pirated content, win95 / dos setup install and more. Although it's fun, every installation comes with a little risk that something won't work, or it's time consuming to figure out the files source, methods to install and stuff. Steam hits the market and slowly but surely, people start to rely onto it.

I think this form of reliance has it's psychological impact, it's like a gang member sticking to his group. They will offer their punch and kicks when another gang surfaced.

Epic games is not steam's competitor. They existed long before steam, they are the distributors of Tyrian, One Must Fall, Jack Jackrabbit and more. They bring in lots of quality action games to make PC gaming fun back in the old days.

Fortnite is a shooter game where you can build things around. You can be creative and build a defending tower. There are many fun elements invented for a gamer to explore. It's a fun chill game for adults and child to play together cross platform. It can also be competitive and e-sports professionals recognized Fortnite. It's a winning fun game which has over 350 million players, and it's free. All the records indicate that it's fine, yet people are not playing it, and some complained that it's bad with no experience in playing it.

Every complain and reason is weak. Oh it's a game with kids. You have kids everywhere! In csgo how many were scammed daily? Oh it's from epic and they have bad practice of making things exclusive. You have it in PlayStation! Every complain does not justify us needing to draw the line because it doesn't.

I'm not trying to defend Epic, I myself have not play Fortnite, I am only interested in exploring this psychological barrier. Overtime, steam games have becoming more and more expensive and developers have started to make a switch. Epic is a very simple downloader without forums, without a community. It's just a distributor like in the old days. Yet it is very difficult to give them a click or even a try.

It is important to study this barrier because next generation of players and developers will not share the same reliance on steam. They will find distributors that offers the best price, they can use epic and any other. If we still stick our heads in steam we will be the ones losing out.

If Fortnite is available on steam, I believe it will be a normal and regular game just like team fortress. People will not just say "oh it's for kids" they will tell you how well they can play their characters before complaining to you about other reasons. Then, those reasons will be more valid.

Fortnite would be just as lame if it were on Steam

PVP is stressful. People don't like game that get you full of rage quit. Have you looked up YT videos compilation of rage quit? People do crazy stuff...Though, to be fair, it generally happens to any game out there with pvp, fornite is just one of those...Bottom line is that people want to win, not lose. Losing is not fun in game.

"Rage quitting" can be any game though... that's more on the player and their temper then PVP

For me, the building. Why the hell do I have to build a hotel building just to win in a 1v1? ...

Yes, agree on that... it's not the better PVP player that wins it's the faster builder... meh.

Numbers speak for themselves....

With over 350 million users and like 80 million active users per month
Game makes around $5 billion a year

So clearly, its not hated. If it was so hated, it would of gone of out business years ago.

The bigger the target the more hate it gets though... for every 1 player there's more who "hate" it and have either quit or just hate and never played it for hate's sake because it's "popular" to hate on it... 80 million sounds like a lot... until one factors in the millions that don't play it and aren't counted.

So clearly no... millions of people dislike many companies and things but they still have not gone out of business years ago either... one can't use still being in business as a sign of not being hated...

Love it or hate it... Fortnite has it's place in history... and will probably be around for a while yet.

I don't know a thing about fortnite, I thought it was a sort of copy of team fortress 2 or something but on a different platform.

I play strategy games more than first person shooters anyway so I don't really look for new shooters to play.

I feel like it's very toxic because it's mostly people that have no real lifes or little 12 year olds. I quit because of the constant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hit registration the game has always had and the toxic emote and teabag combo everyone does.

fortnite somehow has become one of the only AAA games that allow devs to have fun.

really? this thread is 2 years old now.

[sage2001]

people like to hate popular things without giving them the time of day.

[gold diggers and black ni]

Because most of the playerbase is 13 year olds.

[Supersquid]

I don't know, it just because my least favourite game when I was 7, so....

[Mina]

Childish, weird a little, uncomfortable a bit but I don’t mind. I play it around halloween events and several other games

[SatanIsAGamer669]

I played the game for 5 years since the game came out. I'd say I can put in my 2 cents whenever I want. Plus I know lot's of people still play the game so I tried it out the other day and remembered why I don't like it. I tried to see if anyone else didn't like it and why. It's that simple. Idgaf that the thread is 2 years old. It could be 90 years old and I still say whatever I want about it.

Gets boring fast and people are either stupid, toxic, or annoying.
