    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.

      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

            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.

                                        Pretty obvious what was going to happen when they decided to go the Roblox route. Fortnite and Roblox are both predatory slop. Quite frankly the developers (even if they are kids) releasing paid “experiences” (aka slop) are just as immoral and predatory.

                                        Talk to your kids about not falling for scams like f2p monetization schemes.

                                          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
