This guy won $40k from playing 10 games of fortnite in his bedroom

He can do this for at least 8 weeks per year, not to mention the hundreds of thousands he earns just from stream views and subs

Other skirmish winners have been winning 6 figure prize monies

There isn't an incentive for it, there are a lot of good players who don't get invited to this shit because they're not streamers or not entertaining, and even if you're entertaining, it may take years to pop off, in the meantime you're wasting a little money in a setup and time, and it's not like it's something you can put in your resume, you either do it forever or wagecuck a badly paid job.

It's not different from any artist, pro sports or gaming player, scientist, or whatever "follow your dreams" job, you just have to be good at what you do or wagecuck. With that said, I don't see it why you can't do it part time until you make it, since having a better paying job or something is still wagecucking, you don't lose much for trying

Fortnite is basically an unreal engine demo game. The building mechanic and highly destructible world is fun but I feel it all falls apart when it comes to the actual shooting. The only viable weapons in this game are shotguns and snipers because everything else takes at least 2 seconds or like 8 shots to kill a full hp/shield enemy. Even if you start shooting an enemy first they can instantly, with no cooldown, construct a 3x3m wall that blocks every shot. By the time you have destroyed it they have placed about 10 more walls, are about 10m above you and have healed up so it's pointless. Also the view distance is terrible, audio cues for treasure are buggy.
The fun part is that for most of the round stealth, fighting or autistic click spam building are all viable. Just the only way to actually win is autistic click spam building.

Guns can be tweaked all you want but it won't change the building mechanics. If walls took maybe 5 seconds to block bullets (can still be walkable instantly, but shifting the balance a bit more towards aggression than defence) I believe the game would be much less frustrating. Sadly the game is already popular so nothing will change. Seeing as this is /biz/, epic would lose too much of their audience by changing the core mechanic. Still well played to them for trying to make a shooter that emphasizes defence.

Right.
Because if thousands of neets will start 'winning 40k at least 8 weeks per year' and 'earning hundreds of thousands from stream views and subs'.

On twitch and in e-sports 0.01% gets 99.99% of spoils (until they're too old and can't compete anymore). Rest get the scraps. Might as well tell neets to start a career in McDicks and 'flip burgers 16 hrs a day' to 'get good enough' to become the CEO.

But it's a fucking joke. People overdo the building thing, they become obsessed with being higher than the enemy and start spamming ramps and shit. The movement is slow as fuck. Weapons are hitscan shit except the retarded sniper.

Literally the first 15 minutes are spent gathering wood bricks and metal, you dont even need to bother with killing, just wait until there's like 10 players left.

It's just a god damn meme that made a mix of minecraft with the building aspect, overwatch with the autism for skins and the cartoony aesthetics, and the "realistic weapons" with spread from shitty games like cod

Yeah but that applies to almost anything. If you spent 16 hours a day programming or something you'd end up making a hell of a lot more money than that nigger, because that game is a fad and eventually it's going to go away. The problem is grinding anything for 16 hours a day gets pretty damn boring fast. With shitcoins it's not about grinding 16 hours a day it's about making a some good choices and sitting on them for a couple of years, sure it's more about luck than grind but yea. Most of us are here because we don't like grinding the same shit for 16 hours a day, whatever it is.

Minecraft was actually something and exciting and didn't pretend to be competitive. I remember when I first made my first underground base, the feeling of terraforming the environment was so brand new.

Putting ramps and shit i've seen before in other games like Gmod.

The cool thing is jumping with a ton of people. Actual gameplay is shit. Too much luck depending on where you spawn. Then spend 90% of the match gathering shit and breaking your pinky because the dumb ass need of needing to press a key to sprint when you will obviously sprint 99% of the time on a big ass map.

Then at the end just create towers and shoot other peoples towers down, if needed jump off the tower with your shotgun out, first blast then spam sub machine or something. TOO MANY fucking pointless weapons to keep kids entertained.

The actual fights are dumb because you have slow CS movement so this game is only interesting because you can build ramps and so on, other than that it's trash.

I mean zoomers had to create a meme bashing Quake in order to cope because they are too dumb to play it. Some big Fortnite player tried Quake on a stream and got absolutely destroyed. First time I tried Fortnite I got a couple kills on aim alone. If I actually put time on it I could be good, all I would need is to develop muscle memory for the building binds.

The fuckers don't allow you to practice building alone in a createive mode because if they allowed to do that people would learn that so easy that you would max out what the game has to offer so fast. So you can only practice in-game, this keeps people going back to play more and more.

Im old now and exclusively play fortnite because it's fun. The building shit is really hard to get top tier at when you're old though, so i'll probably never be sick.

Most top pros in fortnite have shit aim though, they are mostly good at building, positional awareness and whatever else.

I have tried fortnite for like a couple of weeks, never really got into it.

If at least like I said before, I could practice the building mechanics to develop muscle memory, but no, they can't ad a fucking creative mode for some reason.

A zoomer might be ok with wasting ages trying to git good at building during actual matches but I can't be fucked with that, just give me creative mode.

Until then I will not bother. I may play it again when there's creative after I learn being fast at building on my own without being annoying by campers with snipers on their towers.
