Yep - but the truth is that all of this is still 100% cosmetic.
If you play Fortnite for free you are 100% on the same footing as someone who dumps a lot of money into the game
I don't like Fortnite - but it is worth pointing out that there is still zero p2w despite them making billions
Yeah I actually like the way Fortnite does it. I don't know of anyone who does it better.
I thought they were going to make save the world free to play yeara ago after they made billions on battle royale (at least that's what they alluded to in one interview)... but no they just pissed it away
Subs were ~$15 per month for everyone. You wanted to play the game then you had to pay that money.
But now a large amount of people don't pay anything or significantly less than that ~15 per month and it's only a smaller segment of the population who pay significantly more.
Those people who pay significantly more might also be the people who paid ebay prices for gold and items. Or would be the type to pay for that as they want to be competitive.
All the cash shop did was give the people who didn't want to pay anything "permission" to do just that an uncap payment for those who had a lot of money to spend.
Your statement is just not correct as those who are dropping thousands never cared about the ~15 per month.
They laugh at my character, because I refuse to pay for cosmetics.
Agree with others, no p2w, so I'm cool.
HEY GUYS,we have some new content and some new maps for you....oh wait no we don't we have some new monetization though !!.

Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I am very surprised Amazon keeps failing at gaming,you don't even need much of a game anymore,just any old pile of crap with a cash shop will do and the money practically prints itself.

I agree though for games that are p2w in disguise (where F2P is so gimped you have no choice).
Back in the day, servers were really expensive and online gaming was new. So we could justify that cost to maintenance of the game and servers.
In 2020... that is not the case at all. A company needs to adapt to gaming and pricing trends.
Yes, the stupidity of impulse buying vs work/reward acquisition of items/costumes...so I agree, it's the players.
traveller, interloper, anomaly, iteration
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
I love royal battles and Fortnite more than many (for leaving Save the World). However, reading this and that you are getting both the Battle Pass + 1k Vbucks per month (worth $ 10, almost the entire subscription price) as well as more, it seems like a very fair deal for those who are already spending their money on the game.
