Around 2017-2018, there used to be a huge circlejerk online about how Fortnite was the dumbest thing ever, to the point where “Fortnite bad, Minecraft good” was part of the infamous Keanu Chungus 100 meme. Why did it get so much hate, and why did it stop?

    For me/my group, originally Fortnite was a group PvE game with a legitimate storyline etc. The BR element got tacked on, got crazy popular, and along with loot boxes became the focus of the game to the detriment of the original product.

      That’s what happened to me. I think I may have paid for the game when it had a story mode at a very early access stage. And then, over a very short period, it became a totally different game. And that annoyed me.
