Is this the fastest video game death of all time? Not even Lawbreakers died this fast.

Wait wasn't the original concept for fortnite actually a wave based tower defence game? I remember being excited for that and then battle royal happened and I lost all interest.

Yeah the tower defense part of it was actually quite fun

People paid for that original game too, it wasn’t free. I don’t assume they got refunded. It was basically a massive bait and switch.

I was a sucker and my friend convinced me to get and pay for the orginal game. I think it was only like 3-4 weeks after the game was available when they shoehorned battle royal mode in. It wasn't long after that before they switched to free to play and gave us I think in game currency that was worth the $60 or whatever the game costed at launch. I stopped playing altogether because I paid for a co-op PvE tower defense game, not a free to play PvP battle royal game.

Yea I recall it being like 20 something. That's why I never pre-order. Without having poof I would assume they got refunded if it stopped development, it's epic games. I do recall it did get released eventually but I had lost interest by them.

Yeah, the original trailer made it clear they were trying to go after the Minecraft style of gathering resources, building up a base and fortifying it, then defending from zombie mobs at night, like the Minecraft mobs.

Maybe not so much the pixel/block graphics, but the ideas behind Minecraft, with an actual objective, which Minecraft lacked.
