Have You Lost Someone You Care About To Fortnite...

in #gaming7 years ago

The lonely nights. The lack of attention. You stare at your phone hoping for that a text or call from your significant other but alas, nothing. Why? Fortnite. This vixen has taken both men and women from their caring partners and imprisoned them in hours of fun gameplay and promises of victory. The horror!

In case you haven't heard, which I'm sure you have from someone, Fortnite is everywhere. It is one of the most streamed games on Twitch and now that it is mobile there is a chance there is at least two people on the bus with you playing it on the way home. Teachers were banning phones in class. And now there is a joke petition online from girlfriends of gamers who want the game banned. I think it should include boyfriends, girl gamers can ignore their partners too. :p.

This is nothing new. There was a similar craze with pokemon Go last year and there will be another one next year. Lets not lose our heads here. It is a good game that is getting some attention, good for them. Yeah you should put your phone away when spending some quality time with your partner but lets not go crazy, things get popular, it happens.

Here is the article about the petition:

I lost myself into fortnite.

I am actually a lucky one since i have only spent 5€ on that game.

But i have a friend who has already bought coins worth about 200€

I feel sorry for him. :(

I'm in nearly the same exact boat. I'm lost in it but only a couple bucks in. I have friends that are in deep.

Yeah
i also tried to warn my friend when he was in 30€

but he said.

"heh don't worry i won't spend more"

the next day he was 100€ in...

You mentioned fortnite and neglected PUBG which is the one that has won awards, is more realistic and more popular, c’mon man people are just addicted to this game if not more so😀

I beg to differ, PUBG is definitely not more popular than Fortnite. Fortnite is everywhere and is also one of the first games that has consecutively had more viewers than LOL.

I suppose because it’s free right? It may appeal more to the casual gamer...

Also, PUBG has a store to pay for loot crates and they are quite expensive too, a silk scarf cost 90 USD whattttt

I asked my friend, how to play Fortnite? She said,"You start with nothing, running in fear of everything. Eventually, you find a gun and things get better".

good post, eyes are the windows of the world

My friend tripped and fell down an escalator playing Pokemon Go. Now has atrophy from doing nothing but playing Fortnite while he healed!

Remember to look up from your phones sometimes guys!!

I agree with what you have said, they are just trying to gain popularity, I have heard of pokemon Go it got a lot of users in the very beginning, and I recently heard of a game named as BLUE WHALE, it got people killed, who wants to play such games at the very beginning, those who played BLUE WHALE for a long time committed suicide as it was a order given by the game, BLUE WHALE was everywhere at that time so is the case with Fortnite, they just want to gain popularity, ruining people, playing mind tricks with them, there is no humanity left anymore, I think people too are responsible for that, who plays such games at the very first place.

THIS GAMING IS SO FUNNY,,,BUT I SOMETIME TAKE MYSELF TO FORTNITE,,,BY THE WAY GREAT SHARE AND THANKS YOU

no... :(.. i wish few of them had :p

Haha, yeah the typical incidence of jealousy!

To the teachers: instead of banning mobile phones, they should instead start teaching blockchains! Now that "Abyss" is launching soon, a blockchain for gamers allowing them to earn from in-game and societal activity and other gamers' payments, this should be THE signal for everyone that gaming is a ubiquitous, highly respected profession!

That is a good idea, you really need to teach whats coming so people are prepared better.

I don't know how much money was spent in petrol chasing pokeman by my
grandkids parents. They were forever on the road travelling from one destination to another. Today they say, "Who's Pokeman" . lol

my son just asked me to buy this game... maybe I shouldn't?

its really great thinking
dear @whatageek🙌👍😁😉✌🤷🤦🤷🤷

It depends actually. I play games a lot but never missed an opportunity to be with the people important to me. I emphasized this more during my class sessions on how it can make or break your future relationships. For me at least, proper guidance and sincere approach is all that it takes. Hope this helps.

I lost myself lol

Don't worry, any Craze will go out as soon as it came...In Fortnite case I think it'll stay popular but not as crazy as it is now.

There was a similar craze with pokemon Go last year and there will be another one next year. Lets not lose our heads here. It is a good game that is getting some attention, good for them.

Totally agree~ (Never played it yet, I don't think I will because I have other priorities these days.)

Once i lost myself into Runescape, did not spend any money on the game, but still, sometimes i didn't sleep at nights, playing the game

Hmmm..... Losing someone close to us is not an issue but missing them when we need them most in area where they make impacts in our life, sometimes we lose them to climb a great ladder and sometimes we lose them not to get to our destination in life, may such never happen to us.

it's happening because pubg sell like 30 million copies = make a lot of $$ and now we getting bombard with free to play battle royale with premium ultra super great boxes/accounts/skins

and how come i have not had my hands on a game that addictive? i need that game!!!!! i need to go search for it

Love it :) UPvote & Follow *****

erm... am i too outdated if i say i had never play this game at all before?

I love the game to but I’m not weak to not know what love and a game feelings are. If he or she don’t understand the other persons feeling and keep playing that’s some weak **** get a job !!!! Just the people that can’t hang lol!!! Don’t get me wrong I love this game but if it taking over your Life relationship goals get off the game!!!! Now if you don’t have any goals or you are a Kidd you should start to make them!!
