I’m looking forward to 10 year old White boys doing this in broad daylight, and seeing Twitter flip their shit 🍿

    Yes but a big difference is Call of Duty is an M rated video game whereas Fortnite is rated T. Fortnite doesn’t feature blood, death, or swearing. Does it matter that the same kids probably play both? That’s for the parents to decide

      Of course Fortnite features death, we aren’t showering other players with love.

        Elimination.

        Death is such a harsh word.

        Epic’s official language for the game never features death. Characters are eliminated, you can meet the god of the underworld, but no character ever actually dies. Apparently the ESRB says it’s ok

          The language doesn’t matter, you are still reducing people’s health by shooting them, until their health reaches 0 and they cease to exist. Thus, it is death.

      The point of the game is to shoot people with actual guns until you’re the only person (or team) left. Is the word “kill” really where ESRB draws the line?? (not that I think fortnite should be rated R)

        I imagine Epic cares less about what the ESRB thinks and more about what the CCP thinks, seeing as Tencent has a major stake in Epic. China is generally anti-death in games

        Personally, I can’t wait for XXX rated fortnight. /s
