Fortnite's "The End" Event Is Very, Very Stupid

Epic has found yet another way to generate buzz for Fortnite, but this End thing just seems pretty dang stupid when you think about it.

[BlackDoomAx]

This article is even stupidier.

[Ricegum]

It's also late.

[Damrock]

Yup making more money than they can spend is super stupid....

[Juusterey]

An article from thegamer?
I bet this is worth reading and not lazy, crappy and click baity

[Artemidorus]

It's a money making scheme start all over again and hey presto buy this buy that.

[King_Noctis]

This site has been making so many clickbait articles. This and Gamingbolt should be banned from here imo.

[BehindTheRows]

Agreed.

[bamboozle]

I stopped checking n4g like 11-15 years ago, and still scamy as always. lots of ads as articles and news from very suspicious website! I guess there will be another 11 years. welp

[rainslacker]

It has gotten worse, but so has gaming journalism in general. N4G can only be as good as the content that is available. Would help if less vitriolic articles got more attention, but the gaming community does like to react to negativity and apparent controversy.

In hindsight this article really made Jamie Latour look like a complete ass. Why? Because Fortnite Chapter 2 appears to be the exact thing that Fortnite and its player base needed. And the hype the black hole created did nothing but keep the players on the edge of their seats.

I too had my doubts to how this would play out... but lucky me I wasn't dumb enough to write a complete article that made him look like one of the least knowledgeable persons in the world. (after Trump of course)

[UnSelf]

How is trump not knowledgeable? He became president. That takes knowledge

[ShadowWolf712]

lol no it doesn't

- "My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well been documented, are various other parts of my body." -DT
- "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay? It's, like, incredible." -DT
- “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things." -DT
- "[Vladimir Putin] is not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He’s not gonna go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down." - DT —apparently unaware that Russia had already annexed Crimea in a 2014 intrusion into Ukraine that left thousands dead, July 31, 2016

and on and on and on....

[Silly gameAr]

Well, at least we know this isn't the standard Fortnite promo piece we've been seeing for days.

[xxShadow-Shockxx]

The thing is I dont know how you would've thought this was "The End" it was clearly just a scheme to get peoples interest again and then a way to sell more MTs. They also didnt even really make many noticeable changes.

[PressPlayBros]

If it was stupid then why is EVERYONE talking about it? Even the people furthest from this game have heard about it. It's called marketing.

[Germaximus]

The vortex was awesome. Then I watched people playing the game after and couldn't tell a difference.

[BehindTheRows]

Another ‘thegamer’ article. I’m quickly learning to stay away from it.

[Nitehawk]

Stupid or not the frenzy showed that the game still has the craze.

[AK91]

The title alone is why nobody takes games journalism seriously anymore.

[JackBNimble]

Calling these guy's journalists is giving them way to much credit.

[Elda]

Including the entire game that's called Fortnite.

[gold_drake]

i actually liked it, although i dont play Fortnite. i liked most of the events so far.

[BenRC01]

Sure dumbass, they really don't know what they're doing. Complete fluke they created the biggest game ever.
