re: What is fortnite doing to our younger generations

Goldeneye on n64 was one of the all time best games ever. My son and his cousins play fortnite but it’s ok nothing special about it. I think it’s overhyped.

I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t play fortnite, I tried for a few weeks, but I died way too often for it to be any fun so I don’t play anymore. However, it really isn’t that hard to see why fortnite has taken off like it has...

Think back to when you were a kid. If you played goldeneye, perfect dark, other shooters, etc, I can almost guarantee you that at some point, you or one of your friends made a comment like, ‘dude just think how cool it would be if I were at my house, and you were at your house, but we could still play!!’.. it took so much time, effort, and energy to organize a 4 person game as a child because we didn’t have vehicles and relied on our parents to set up nights like that so if your friends weren’t in your neighborhood, you were screwed.

The internet has made our childhood dreams a reality, now all of the same people who dreamed about it as a child, are the same ones who are dumbfounded over the fact that their kids spend so much time playing it.

Some people just need to find a little moderation for their children, and the fortnite fad wouldn’t be a problem
