Ok thats actually funny to add $45 mtx. If people wanna spend money on a meme game like that who cares. If parents leave their card hooked up to their kids account thats on them.
I dont see the issue here.

The most insane part of Steal the Brainrot having MTXs is someone can steal the thing you spent real money on, leave the lobby, and you’ll never see it again

Exploiting children isn’t funny. Stealing from fools is not ok. Having it be legal is not good for the health of society.
Normalizing antisocial behavior is not a good thing

The game that this is within already targets children with expensive micro transactions. So pretending like this changes anything is kinda dumb.
If its ok to buy fortnite skins its fine to buy whatever a $45 brain rot skin gets you and its extra funny that it can be stolen.

I can understand your viewpoint and agree with it even that Fortnite is overly engineered to sell overpriced cosmetic items to children.
I think where we differ is that one wrong (regular Fortnite skins), doesn’t excuse another, worse wrong (brainrot lootboxes and expensive mtx that can be lost)
The whole operation should be shut down, I think we agree there. Fortnite is actually the majority profiteer in this case, the “experience dev” only gets 34% of the revenue from the sale. Infuriating how hypocritical epic is after fighting apple and google over these practices only to do the same thing.
At least Apple and Google try to protect their users from this kind of thing

I’ve never played Fortnite, it’s a full loot game?

I thought it was a third person shooter with bafflingly shitty gunplay…I.guess things have changed since it came out.

Fortnite like roblox and warcraft 3 at this point are almost entirely played for their custom games.
Some of the most popular games of all time in terms of player base are currently roblox custom games and fortnite custom games right now.
It’s truely absurd how many players some of these games pull in.

Fortnite is turning into Roblox. You can now make games for Fortnite with Unreal Editor for Fortnite. This Steal the brain rot game is made by a third party dev.

With full loot? I would have thought that full loot wouldn’t be popular among the Fortnite demographic.
