    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.

      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.

        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..

          These games are so disgusting. Sad that kids get so addicted to them.

            They probably saw how much money Roblox makes and that public opinion is (finally) starting to turn on Roblox. They want that pie

                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

                          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

                                    Don't forget that while this is all happening, Tim Sweeney (Epic CEO) is actively defending child porn on X.

                                      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.

                                        Tell that to Altered Beasts. By the late 80's they were designed to take your quarters. No skills could avoid it.
