Fortnite is always such an emotive topic, no doubt due to its tremendous success and cultural impact. Personally, I think it is great. And I’m not that young. It constantly evolves and the excitement they generate at the launch of a new season is amazing. With two of us on an Xbox and one of us on a Switch, I can play in a trio with my kids and we have lots of fun. We are rubbish, but skill-based matchmaking means we usually get a good run and sometimes even win! I don’t see it as predatory as something like FIFA Ultimate Team - there is no pay to win element - and it’s not like those mobile freemium games where you have to keep paying or grind like crazy to progress. Every match you start you have the same chance of winning as everyone else, regardless of how much or little you have paid. I get that their licensing deals mean a degree of control is required and for sure you never want to play with strangers and voice chat enabled!
