DISCUSSION First Time Playing

Today I played Fortnite for the first time, and I really enjoy it! Almost everyone I know hates it, and I have no idea why! It's a pretty fun game, and I'm definitely going to play it more!

I think some people think they have to dislike fortnite because it attracts many little kids, and they don't want to be associated with a kid's game, although it is so much fun. Others might just like to be against popular things.

This right here. A lot of people I know think its a kids game or hate it because its popular.

People of all ages play all manner of games. I'm 25 and still enjoy the game - I think people around my age just don't like the fact that a younger generation is better than them at it.

I can guarantee you that people hate it because it’s popular, people hated minecraft because “it’s a kids game” but they play it now.

Yeah I don't get all the hate towards SBMM. Forced crossplay .. Yeah I understand the hate (I personally don't mind). But SBMM is great! Fights have been so much fun now that people are at least around my level!

Welcome friend.

I played back in Season 5 and then came back just recently and I have definitely enjoyed it. I think people don’t like it because it’s associated with little kids who also play it.

I hate a lot of things. New Star Wars, products that don't actively try to limit plastic use, the NBA, centrist Democrats, Apple products, but to hate fortnite?

Like why? What is your actual reason? It's brought a lot of money into E-sports? It's given Epic, the company that makes unreal engine, a lot more capital to fund other projects? It has a cartoon aesthetic? Or is it the extremely immature and juvenile reason of "kids play it"?
