None taken. Only reason I haven't dropped the game entirely is just because I already own it (as much as owning digital access to an online game goes anyway), so I log in once in a blue moon, see what gets added, then after a quick stint of being the only player in PvE, log out. It's also hard to miss even casual news of the game, given Epic loves to advertise whatever collab they have going and game reporting sites automatically include it as an easy news release.

I can see why it rubs people the wrong way; it certainly rubbed me the wrong way when they basically declared the PvE development dead and focused on trend-chasing, and proving they have a good enough team that can rip interesting elements and integrate them into their own game and maintain a large and spend-happy playerbase that way.
To be fair, Fortnite never seemed very interesting to me. The graphics are weird, the character animations are ehh... wtf? And the game mechanics are just a typical jumpa-shoota BS with occasional building elements.

3D has ruined me for 2D. No matter how awesome the 2D may be; I can no longer tolerate it. I’m guessing some others may feel similar.
Also played and enjoyed the original back in DOS, but that’s before 3D graphics took over and exploded.
