Fortnite is Getting Dystopian. 

Yeah

No.

Hi mark

Ok!

yoooo

“We made the Torment Nexus from ‘Don’t Make the Torment Nexus’” really coming true

Not society, John Trillionaire

if all media is homogenous and bland nobody is going to see it

More like the media youre speaking of predicted where a society that actively promotes pandering to the lowest common denominator ends up.

@@snaifhassnan6348well, society is making John Trillionare.

He had a good run

I mean, small pve tower defense game _by the creators of Unreal Engine_ . Not that scary in perspective.

That stranglehold didn’t come out of nowhere, it all came from them wanting to copy PUBG (and doing what it does but better)

Without forgetting that the Battle royale was mostly re-used assets FROM said small pve tower defense

​@@youguyslikekof9976 Homelander moment

Yet Valve don't seem worried about this overtaking them at all.

Looking back to it, I used to play Club Penguin when I was younger and I remember how many features evolved and transferred over to Fortnite recently... I mean, I used to be impressed AF when I first saw the Travis Scott concert, but then I remembered it *kind of* happened the same scenario of a "game concert" back in Club Penguin with their original penguin characters (like the Penguin Band) and throughout the years, add in the Disney artists for their music events like the Shake It Up girls and the Teen Beach Movie event back in 2012 - 2013 with synchronized performances and digital merchandise. Now with the forthcoming vision of Fortnite X Disney, it makes me think how all their previous tactics might ACTUALLY work once Disney *fully* gets their digital universe within Fortnite ready. Turns out that Club Penguin was a beta of Disney's plans and thematic advertisements this whole time. The obsolescence of Adobe Flash only delayed Disney's plan of worldwide entertainment domination

Tbf it never really got "bad", just a bit corporate. That island game sure was shit though

Just wait till they fully acquire Fortnite prepare for item shops to have nothing but Disney shit only

Disney didn't buy Fortnite tho

cant wait for the woke girl boss skins smh

I fail to see the bad in this scenario

That isn't a bad thing m8

That’s deep

my solution is to just... not play fortnite. i like fortnite but the playerbase and bad current lootpool ruined it for me

@@weewoo695 im in the same boat, all the crossovers and stuff are cool but the meer THOUGHT of all gives a slight headache

You do realize there are other companies that do that, right?

Same. I just don't really care about it. But this monopolisation of things is sad to watch, terrifying even... Reminds me of the song Biggering

I tried playing it a few dozen times and I never really cared that much Just let people play and have fun but let's try to not get into a dystopian scenario because of a freaking fortnite

Honestly Good Riddance for Fortnite. It's what Epic deserves for delisting the original Unreal games from the Steam page and the shit they pulled with Infinity Blade.

No matter what they do and no matter what they say it won't stop Disney+ from not being profitable or that the MCU and Star Wars are shit now!

What made Disney Infinity worked, was that it was actually fun to create new levels, while also exploring a lot of the characters’ worlds and who they are. In a way, it was basically an Interactive Once Upon a Studio. Fortnite is just an online shooter that only got cross promotional deals like it’s some sort of mobile game.

I wonder if this partnership is going to include something where Disney is going to encourage epic to not use any Warner Brothers owned properties in the future

@@GrievousReborn At least GMOD will preserve those precious models of Chun Li

I'm still pissed at epic on taking away trading from RL Just so they can double down on their FOMO bullshit

I'll be honest, while Fortnite made these FOMO tactics widely used, it kinda does it better than others who use it lol [the battlepass is honestly easy to complete]

Honestly the whole “fomo” argument is kinda stupid I mean they give you three whole months to play. And you don’t even have to play for the season you can join on the last week and get the battle pass by just doing challenges

@@F1_soap While I think FOMO is veeery bad and shouldn't be normalized, Fortnite's FOMO isn't even as much as other games lol, since like what you said, the battlepass is very easy to complete lmaoo

@@pls_stap_ fomo is definitely a real think but yea Fortnite’s is a lot better then others even if fortnite just let anyone buy any battle pass or item at anytime they would be seen as a greedy company. The exclusively of Fortnite’s items is what gives them value would black night or Travis Scott be as popular if it was able to be purchased at any moment. I mean do you remember the last laugh bundle? When it was around for weeks people were complaining saying it was in the shop for to long…sooo does the community want exclusivity or not? This is tricky conversation to have because no matter what side you pick there’s always a down side or a negative in people’s eyes

That's one of the worst emotes it could have been

@@NotGenothat’s the point of the comment

really glad that was a oneoff because my word was that tasteless

I can't tell which is worse that they turned a real world event into something virtual or they banned anyone from emoting in it?

Why does specifically being in NC concern you? I live in NC. It's a virtual game, it doesn't affect anything about our state lol.

Roblox doesnt even have a standard artstyle!

They were elbow deep in producing the collab, alongside Kratos and Master Chief. As revealed in the Epic v Apple case, they cancelled Samus because Nintendo demanded Samus only be visible on the Nintendo Switch, similar to how Rocket League achieved their Super Mario & Luigi collaboration, in addition to Samus herself.

Remember when they accidentally put Kirby in the Party Royal trailer

@@MegaGoaty3895Same thing with the Minecraft mash up pack.

That's cause shitendo keeps being a pussc and not let its characters on other platforms

I love how epic gams wants to look loke they are the good guys against monopolistic companies even though they are just as bad

That is some Ready player one level of insanity and that is scary

Same. I see some clips from the original Battle Royale mode and think it looks like it might be kind of fun, but all the colabs they do always feel very very off putting and poorly executed, only gaining hype through FOMO. That is something that will only get worse as they build up this “all in one” hub, which is something I can never get behind. Plus this is all happening around the time Apple is releasing the Vision Pro, which are uncannily similar to the headsets in Ready Player One.

@@dizdawgjr34 The only reason I still hop in every once in a while is because I played when the IPs weren't everywhere. Just Marshmellow (remember him?). Something happened in late 2019-2022 and here we are now, with IPs pumped out every week.

​@dizdawgjr34 Not all collabs are gonna be good, but most collabs Epic have done were/are really good. The TMNT collab that's going is good having TMNT weapons, skins, and map changes plus there's a bunch of free rewards. The whole FOMO being the only way they gain hype is such a bad point they build up hype for new seasons with map changes, lore (sometimes), live events, and updates they genuinely put a lot of time and effort into keeping Fortnite updated and adding what people want. Have you never heard of don't judge a book by its cover that's what you're doing.

Spider-Man comes to mind for me. Didn’t they refuse to put the character’s image on a grave because someone was a fan?

​@@MegaGoaty3895yeah pretty sure it was disney thar denied that from happening im not surprised because back when coco released they tried trademarking dia de los muertos

Cry😸😸

@@MegaGoaty3895 Were they making money out of that fans grave? Theres your answer.

Nintendo is probably the only outlier here. To them, Mario being in a game on PlayStation or Xbox is like the rapture.

Protected from what? I don't think someone is attacking them.

What gambling is there in fortnite? They don't have any lootboxes or crates or anything, you can see exactly what you're getting when you pay for it.

@@proot. If you aren't just being dismissive, give this a read, and don't just take my word for it, go look around and do some research on the topic too; It's the same psychology as gambling addictions. It plays on the gamblers fallacy and the sunk cost fallacy. One keeps you playing because you keep swearing to everyone they're making it better with every update. And that skin you like? It'll come back next month, right? And surely they'll bring back some old maps eventually, and keep around one of their other games modes, like Payload, or King of the Hill. They never will, but it's hopeful. And if you've spent a dollar on the game, you're more likely to spend more. People who buy one micro transactions are ridiculously more likely to buy another, but it gets worse. The sunk cost fallacy is the entire impudence behind battle passes. You have paid for the product. But now, you don't actually OWN the product. You now have to dedicate a lot, and I mean A LOT of time to the game just to have access to what you already bought (unless you want to pay to get it faster. Wink, wink). And now you've spent even more time with the game, but you're human, and you're having fun, so who cares? You're not gonna question this system, or if it's exploiting human behavior for a minimal amount of effort, meanwhile underpaying and over working their employees in an often toxic environment. You've spent so much time with this game. No matter what, you're FAR less likely to change games now. Other games do more, and take less. But so many people have spent SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY on this game, that the argument is dulled entirely by "but I'm having fun." But hey, meth addicts are having fun too.

@@handgun559 Just to add to this, a lot of people say it isn't as bad because the skins and stuff give you no mechanical benefits in the game. Except everything in the game revolves around those skins. Socially, people with better cosmetics are seen as cooler. Every action you do in the game gives you a little ding that reminds you you're this much closer to unlocking a new thing. Everything feeds into the battlepass, and even if you don't buy it, it'll still constantly track your progress and remind you what you could have if you just paid up.

​@@handgun559Jesus, nggas getting all worked up over a br game, how pathetic do you have to be to be get outraged over this y'all don't even care about Fortnite y'all just want to push y'all stupid agendas to feel special

@@proot. Fortnite has mastered the art of FOMO. They started this "Battlepass" thing and alot of "Freemium" games have jumped on the concept calling them "Season pass" or something along those lines even some Triple A titles have taken the Concept. It shows what you could of gotten if you shelled out some cash. or you see others with the same Skin or items and that digs even deeper into the FOMO effect because you don't want to be left out. They made Billions off this

This video and this comment section is just the SpongeBob rollercoaster gif Scary as a fucking small bump on a rollercoaster

That only applies to the AAA scene. The indie scene is flourishing and is on the road of overtaking soulless cash grabs!

@@FrahdChikun Yeah, sorry to sound so depressing. I've just been a fan of some of these franchises, before they went bad, I was definitely overreacting.😅 I guess I'm just tired of mainstream entertainment being a business first, and an art form second.

​@@calciumnugget4114 You got a point there with mainstream and money. It's not surprising that something going mainstream would generate moolah like a waterfall.

@@calciumnugget4114that’s understandable, honestly i miss when every game a some passion behind it, it could be the shitist game ever but you could tell there was a sizable effort to make it happen. Nowadays lots of media feels lifeless and corporate instead o fun like it used to be. And as much as i clown fortnite, fortnite is one of those games i think is corporate and yet still managed to have that passion that most games don’t have anymore.

Trash and dog shit

Yeah u just walk into your new job at Disney and just see a team of developers furiously playing Fortnite creative

Fortnite is certifiably the modern poster boy for fever games

Most original youtube comment. You will truly make it in life

Not to do diss Magic, but it's interesting how Konami has done crossovers not by actually crossing over existing media (incouding their own), but rather using or referencing it in certain cards or archetypes. Kozmo probably being one of the most successful, but bizarre ideas with mixing Wizard of Oz and Star Wars into one coherent theme.

@@valutaatoaofunknownelement197Wizard of Oz and Star Wars aren’t all that different. A Galaxy Far Far Away: over the rainbow A long time ago: the 19th century Tatooine: Kansas

Save the World is pretty good imo, its not for everyone but if you enjoy Tower Defences and Looter Shooters and patient with Farming you might enjoy it

I think they have before with battle breaker skins?

Or More Gears of War. Marcus, dom, baird, and cole were basically their company icons long before fortnite existed

Considering that they wiped Unreal from their history without hesitation, i don't think they care about said history.

i thought the same thing when i saw raiden from metal gear, then i remembered i still don't like third person shooting or the overall artstyle of fortnite lol

The moment he explained it, the first thought that came to me was "fuck, I should uninstall the Sonic mobile game from my phone." It's not like I was unlocking Surge anytime soon, or that it'd be anything worthwhile...

As much as I’d like to say I’m immune, I did download fall guys and buy the season pass for Hatsune Miku and I will do the same for Fortnite if the time ever comes

Well he ended up being a BP skin so it wasn't hard. It's a shame you lost your account though

True and Fortnite is not even that good for it to be the only game you need

So fortnite is becoming similar to roblox in how it offers multiple games and combines peices of media and this is bad because it will lead to the eventual homogeny of art. I completely disagree, I feel as if people will still be able to separate and make separate peices of media and veiw them on an individual or self contained basis and that it's arguably impossible to homogeneousize media like this on such a scale. Also could you define what you mean be "homogeninzation" do you mean cross-overs or references?

People are giving in to their desires, it feels like people are getting more impulsive and it's on purpose.

It seems like they're trying to weasel their way into the gaming industry but Disney has never been smart with games. Either they let Epic do their thing and nothing drastic happens, or they take over the whole operation and just ruin it all and waste their money.

Not a purchase, but they own a share. Not utter dominance, but scary enough

Just a correction, they bought a share of it. They don't have full control, but they might slowly get there, which is scary as a frequent Fortnite player. Inlove collabs, but I hopenit doesn't get monopolized by Disney. Also, hi YinYang!

Tencent will never allow this to happen

Personally, I didn't really like it back then, but now I love it, as long as these conditions are met: 1: The collabs are explained through lore or are related to the overall theme of the game 2: One company shouldn't monopolize over the other. Everyone should have equal chances disregarding age restrictions. Fortnite is fulfilling #1 in a way, but for #2, we'll have to wait and see, but I hope Disney doesn't monopolise the collabs we get. We already have so many Marvel skins. While they're cool, we need a bit more variety!

There’s a difference between Crossovers and Collabs. A crossover is when two franchises or multiple franchises crosses over with each other, in a storyline where the characters from various franchises, joins together, and we (the Audience, and Players) see how they would interact, and how well they worked together. A collab is when a character from another franchise gets added into an online game, as a skin you have to buy through micro transactions… due to corporate interference. However, the said character is not a character, as it’s just a skin with zero involvement with the game’s story, or lore.

They might as well add regular show to fortnite

Is it wrong that I'd buy Muscle Man if he was in he game?

@@majedmohammed6428 do you have nothing better to do with your life?

It's cuz they have all the IPs in the world (except Nintendo) to keep people's attention. If the game is losing steam, all they need to do is introduce a new character skin or game mode of a famous IP and boom; Fortnite is relevant for another year or so.

I could take it or leave it with the BR mode, but it’s the fact that there’s an expansive and growing list of creator content on there and you can play as your favorite character from any franchise at this point it seems. It’s a social thing as much as it is a game at this point. A night with the boys consists of a group of 10 of us and it’s a blast.
