As Fortnite Enables Third-Party Microtransactions, Steal the Brainrot's Developer is Slammed By Fans For Immediately Adding $45 Premium Bundles and Gambling-Style Mechanics
-
I'm surprised that fortnite was willing to front the liability of allowing third party micro-transactions. Especially gatcha or gambling mechanics based ones. That could get fortnite as a whole banned in a few countries.
Fortnites rating is Teen and their target demographic is mostly minors. Some countries have pretty big laws on allowing gambling mechanics with minors.
I'm sure someone did a risk analysis and determined that they'd make more money on this than they'd lost on being banned from other countries. Only time will tell if they were right.

Tim Sweeney really decided to lean in on this by defending the pedo AI gen bullshit on twitter
-
GAAS is a fucking scam. Stop playing this consumer abusing trash.
You are more or less preaching to the choir

Fortnite now allows creator-made games to sell in-game items — and immediately, the platform's most popular experience Steal the Brainrot has added $45 premium item bundles and a chance-based roulette wheel.
and here we go..
Those in the industry know that the guy running the content in question is just using the most profitable techniques available to him.
-
it's not actually fortnite, they now have a roblox-like game mode browser where players could create games in an editor.
But you launch Fortnite to access it on every platform. There isn’t an “Epic UGC” app. So this is what Fortnite has become. An umbrella for experiences that include Battle Royal, Zero Build, Concerts, etc.

All they have to do is disable games with mtx in the countries that ban it

yea fair, although some countries get super iffy about it. That was a big reason Overwatch ended up swapping to a rolling store with OW2 instead of keeping the loot box system, and that was a first party MTX system.

These games are so disgusting. Sad that kids get so addicted to them.
At least in my day they only took a few quarters from ya, unless you had skills
-
They probably saw how much money Roblox makes and that public opinion is (finally) starting to turn on Roblox. They want that pie
Yeah a slippery slope if children start making content and not paid enough
-
Lol. That's got nothing to do with it. The adults stalking kids is what's up.

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

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

Sweeney loves him some CSAM, too.

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.

This is even worse this is GAAP. Games as a platform like Roblox. So Fortnite is now filled with even more slop
