Well, Fortnite jumped the shark.

There's sharks jumping sharks inside sharks ever since Fortnite dropped their actual original concept to chase the battle royale bandwagon.

This will make any corpo stooge wet themselves with joy, however, as a consumer I'm repulsed by the idea! I don't want an entertainment universe, just awesome games to play; Preferably games that's single player, no microtransactions, and zero live service elements (that is becoming a gradual impossibility). As a consumer, I now know the companies to avoid buying products from.
