Where it’s at.
If this is an OG season, Epic should finally make Save the World mode free.


AKA the actual, original Fortnite before they stole the idea from PUBG and went Battle Royale.

800 people were fired from Epic and the game is breaking all records. No boycotts.

The double standard compared with Bungie is clear as day. There is an agenda to destroy Destiny.

Why is Paul Tassi not investigating Epic 🤡
By who? The devs for making a bad expansion or the players for not buying shit?

I'm talking about all the outrage, articles and refunds this week since the layoffs were announced. The era thread is at 45 pages filled with people saying Bungie are trash and Destiny was never good. Bungie was the most celebrated FPS studio since forever.

Same for twitter, Reddit, everywhere people are shitting on Bungie for laying off 100 people. This is not normal. Embracer did the same for the Neverwinter Nights studio. Epic 800. Not a word about it anywhere.

By the monopolistic corporation that no longer owns Bungie, and has shown interest in driving Bungie's new parent company out of business.

Their influence spreads far and wide, controlling corrupt politicians, judges, media and includes significant investments in viral marketing and online reputation management.

While you are right, Bungie has had a negative rep for being very anticonsumer for a long time now and it's all coming back to bite them. Sony needs to come to grips with the fact that Bungie now represents Sony, and needs to take the appropriate measures to ensure that Bungie doesn't needlessly damage Sony's corporate image with its normal greedy practices.

It's fine that Bungie gets called out, but why are so many others not being held accountable as well? That's where the bias and agenda come into play.

All-time peak for the game across its entire existence. 44 million users in one day. Absolutely insane.

By the way, it’s fantastic. This is more than just nostalgia and an outpouring of love for a special time. This map genuinely has some good ideas and execution that should be mined for the future of Fortnite going forward.

I feel like I’m right back in 2018 with the same insatiable urge to play.

Im still convinced Sony Had to buy Bungie and give them some powerr because MS was gonna buy them outright
