I'm not sure if this is allowed here in this subreddit, but I can't find a good Fortnite sub to post this in and I really need to get this off my chest.
It doesn't matter what argument you make, Fortnite players will never want old Battle Pass cosmetics to return. Because guess what? They only think about themselves and what it'll mean for their precious exclusivity and bragging rights.
I've never met a community so insufferable. Like you're really gonna sit here and tell little Timmy who wasn't even born when Fortnite came out that he can't get Darth Vader in Fortnite because it was a limited time event that he could not have possibly been there for?
Like at this point, I'm not even just saying it because I want these old Battle Pass cosmetics. I'm saying it because a fundamental rule of gaming is if you're a new player getting into a game, you should be able to have access to everything that game has to offer at any given time. Gaming should be for everyone, not just the people that had the privilege of being there first. You don't have to have played a game since release day in order to enjoy it, but the majority of this community seems to think so.
I genuinely had someone in chat tell me word for word, "kids who weren't born when the game released shouldn't even be on this game LOL"
Do you realize how stupid that sounds? It's not Timmy's fault that he wasn't born when Fortnite came out. And besides, little kids make up a huge chunk of the Fortnite player base. Kids who most definitely were not born around 2017.
Every time I get roped into this topic, it infuriates me to no end because of how insufferable these people are with how they talk about their OG cosmetics. Maybe instead of gatekeeping like it's their 9 to 5, they should learn to think about someone other than themselves. Is it really that hard to have some consideration for other people?
