Entire game got sucked into a black hole.

I don't like Fortnite, but that's pretty cool.

It sounds like (from 30 seconds looking on google) that it's just some event that they're doing, wouldn't mind if I was wrong though

Yeah they constantly have events. Well it makes sense.

So why we exist? What happens when we stop existing?

Yeah. That's why I begrudgingly admit it's actually neat as a promotional thing.

This is why it is the most played game in the world. And the company does well to make all these events.

Still League of Legends on average players per day/month outside of specific promotional events.

I hadn't realized but they're gonna keep kids up all night waiting for this. And they have school tomorrow. Yea maybe not a great idea in hindsight

In the north US yeah, but around here, we never get the day off.

That was pretty different though
This is "hey we're doing a change so here's an event about how our servers are down"
whereas that was "hey we're cancelling the game so here's an event about the fuckin world getting blown up"

So is Fortnite's entire existence just reacting to and copying Apex now? Are they that scared of the dips they get whenever Apex does something that they feel the need to do the same, even though they're still crushing it in numbers basically all the time? Did them falling below Apex in streaming numbers on launch day freak Epic out that much?

Yeah Epic saw that Apex was releasing a new map so they created one themselves and planned a massive event in a week.

The devs said that they already had upto Season 10 planned when Season 4 got released

They put out respawns and pinging like 2 weeks after Apex stealth launched, would not surprise me in the slightest. Fortnite's entire model is rapid, reactionary, fast pased updates constantly. It's definitely not a coincidence that they go years of being a huge phenomenon, and only put out a second map literally two weeks after their competition. It would be ridiculous to claim otherwise.

This is all being ironic right...?

I mean, like somebody said above, they've been saying Season 10 was planned out/gonna be something big ever since Season like, 3 or 4, so
