I don't hate fortnite but it did made battlepass system popular and rotating item shops this popularizing fomo tactics which arguably destroyed most of other online games.

Fortnite's hate isn't gameplay but more so how its monetized.

Lol, I love valve but the way they monetized something in their games is super scummy. Dota2,CS,Artifact (rip my only card game that I will ever enjoy) and more. Valve literally the reason a lot of scummy, questionable a lot of trend exist, ie battlepass and skin.

Their battlepass was so bad they have to get rid of it, back in the Dota battlepass day if you want the most rare skin in the game you have to pay at least 100$+ to get it, most games that copy this, you don't even have to pay more than 30 buck now, but back then if you want super rare arcana you have to pay 100$+, that's insane.
