We're potentially looking at a massive scandal involving the most played battle royale in the world.Why is nobody on /v/ talking about this?
because we don't play fartnight here
don't fucking carethis game sucks
>>751169196We're not children.
>>751169196>Why is nobody on /v/ talking about this?i stopped playing that game a long fucking time ago
>>75116919618+ websitewhy would we care about a game for children...?
>>751169196>Problem: those laws generally target paid loot boxes, not free rewards earned through gameplaySo it's a completely free thing you don't even have the option to pay for? what's the problem?
>>751169196This is an 18+ site, underagefag get thee gone.
post more Helsie
>>751169196how the fuck is it gambling if you are not paying to try it?
>>751169196I don’t get it. So you can use stuff for free for 14 days? And that’s a big deal? I’ve never played this game. It reminds me of those contests where you win unlimited pizza for a week. Most people don’t really want unlimited pizza after the first couple. The pizza makers don’t lose anything in the exchange
ok and what were people expecting of course this item is made to increase the player count and if it was easy to get people would stop playing
>>751169234this, good to know tho
>>751169196>go play Diablo 2>spend 70 hours hunting for Zod rune>doesn't dropREEEEEEEEEEEEE WTF BLIZZARD NORTH I'LL SUE YOU
>>751169352I also misunderstood but it means in the next 2 weeks you can buy anything that is in the shop and they stay forever in your account
>>751169196it doesn't cost money to open the chests how the fuck is it gambling? What a stupid fucking thread
>>751169196>Unlocks almost the entire Item Shop for free for 14 daysWhat does this mean?You get all skins for free for 14 days?
>>751169196>Unlocks almost the entire Item Shop for free for 14 daysSo if you win this item, you can use the entire shop for free, but only for 2 weeks? If it's not permanent, who gives a fuck?
No one is playing fortnite. No one cares.
>>751169352You have a token that you can use to get every skin in the item shop for 14 days and you get to keep the skin after the 14 days are up.
>>751169320Whales are gonna whale anon. They are all addicted to gambling. For fake skin bullshit.
>>751169328
>>751169352Fortnite was the game to start the battle pass trend so instead of spending 20 dollars on a Luffy or Mrs incredible skin you get it for free if you waste hours of your life
>>751169196I don't get it, if this is all free then what are people complaining about?
>>751169320there isnt really one, its just people getting their feelings hurt because they approached this event as a >"surely if i grind hard enough, i'll get the thing"but to their credit epic games made a mistake by assuming their playerbase wasnt completely retarded
>>751169487mmm tight little butt
>>751169459>whalethere is literally no money component to this at all. It is completely free to open the chests its part of the fucking gameplay.
>>751169523>>751169349>>751169320Do you not understand how predatory this is? Children are playing this game btw
>>751169454Dumb of them to not do the same idea but make it 1 day only and a higher drop rate.
>>751169429>Wow hundreds of dollars worth of stuff? That's stupid! You realize most Fortnite players are poor, right? They give you two tokens and you can activate them whenever you want
>>751169560no
>>751169426yes 14 days straight then another 14 days in 2027
>>751169560playing the video game is predatory? This is like crying you don't get a rare item drop in fucking borderlands after grinding for it.
>>751169560can you explain how it is to me? I really, truly, do not understand the issue here.
>>751169517Pretty sure TF2 was doing that for years before
>>751169560what is epic games predating on exactly, their free time???back in my day we would look for bigfoot in san andreas for months but we didnt tweet at rockstar for not releasing his spawn probability
>>751169196>OMG THIS COULD BE HUGE THAT A COMPANY GIVING YOU SOMETHING FOR FREE MADE THAT FREE THING VERY RARE BECAUSE IT'S VERY VALUABLEshut the fuck up retardeveryone involved in this is retarded
>>751169459If there is no money involved I'm not sure you can talk about Whales or Gambling.
>>751169614little timmys are school for this
>>751169580that would change nothing about the functionality of the token
>>751169196>Unlocks almost the entire Item Shop for freeHoly shit!>for 14 daysWow it's actually fucking nothing. If you even got one, by December nobody would notice?
>>751169560why aren't their parents stopping them from playing the predatory game then ? why does it become our problem?
>>751169560predatory to allow you to get something for free?i wish i could beat the shit out of you for being so fucking stupid
>>75116958014 days is a fortnight
The only aspect of the whole thing that's actually fucked is new players or people who haven't played in a long time have a far higher chance of getting the token. The people already playing the game regularly could open 20-30k chests and never see it, but pablo.gonzalez2011 could open the game for the first time ever, get it in 2 matches, have no idea what it even is, and just quit the game.
>>751169487She’s still a hebe babe
>>751169647>>751169630>>751169614>>751169613>>751169593Anyone defending Epic (Multibillion company btw) over this is genuinely fucking retarded.Kill yourselves
>>751169748>no idea what it even is, and just quit the game.Based pablito
>>751169487>>751169196Gacha with helsie!1 in 137,500 i get to plap herotherwise i lose my entire life savings!!
>>751169196No one plays or cares about fortnite.Fuck off Timmy.
>>751169748I'm so happy for Pablo, bros
>>751169196What did people expect? of course it was gonna be some insane odds>exploiting FOMO, especially among childrena few years back I actually did have a bit of a complaint along similar lines with Fortnite not so much about traditional FOMO as kids who should be getting plenty of rest are going to be staying up late for their end of season events that only run for an hour despite the game existing around the world with different timezones. at the time I was saying states should be raising a fuss about this but think of the children has been used for so much horrible tyranny i've realized it's better they be allowed to get away with some scumminess than to have state attention drawn to them.
>>751169774>getting so butt blasted over a free thing that has no gambling in any way shape or formI mean I already know you are an autist faggot from the avatar fagging but get a clue nigger
>>751169774>can you explain yourself?>SO YOU'RE ON THE OTHERSIDE HUH? FUCK YOU!!!you are making it very difficult to take your "problem" seriously
>>751169774the only thing more retarded than epic games are the people who play their games
>>751169778>>751169805found the mexicans
If threads still had IP counts there's be like 3 people here, all of this shit reads exactly the same
>>751169196Thanks for letting me know, ignore the faggots saying 18+ website ITT.
>>751169560it is predatory, but that's expected of live service garbage nowadays.
>>751169873>Quitting fortnite is mexicodedBASED TACOS
>>751169196i thought it was 1 in 700,000 or .05%. you should get it in about 6000 chests?
> Extremely rare item that unlocks the entire item shop (limited time for some reason)> Drop rate is < 0.00001% Yeah you don't fucking say.Who gives a shit, the sad part about Epic is that Tim is killing UE by forcing everyone to vibecode slopt into UE6 so it becomes the same as the fortnite editor, it in an effort to make Roblox 2 happen because he things his engine is going to be rekt by AI, and in a way self fulfilling the prophecy. All while blaming everyone but himself for EGS failing. Fucker went insane.
>>751169896>i samefag often
>>751169196another big Tim W
>>751169896we need per-thread ID for /v/
>>751169774god i wish helsie laughed at me like that
>>751169925brown
hop on fort
>>751169196>make something illegal>corporations immedaitely look for loopholes to keep doing itI hate this planet
>>751169971Wait but I never even played fortnite to begin with.
>>751169560In my day, grinding for extremely rare items was part of the gameplay experience.
>>751169795those odds don't seem too good...
>>751169196>Paccuse Epic of exploiting FOMOThey've been doing that since the beginning.
>>751169196You know you need to be 18 to post here OP. Make sure you're not playing past your bedtime buddy.
>>751169234FPBP
>>751169517boss baby
Guys imagine the money we can make if we sue Diablo for having rare items
>>751169984She killed millions
>fortnight shit I’m going to finance another yacht for Gabe all by myself lonesome just to spite the wretched thing
>>751169196>Why is nobody on /v/ talking about this?'cause I got mine.
Some players claim that playing on Israel servers massively increases your chance of finding the token.
>>751169560Honestly? It's just a rite of passage. It builds character. Spending thousands of hours grinding lootbox simulators like Diablo 2 or your run of the mill gook MMO back in the day to the point you almost failed 8th grade came with the territory. Hunting shinies like a massive fucking autist eventually makes you realize your psychology is easily exploitable and makes you less susceptible to trash like gambling when you're older IF you're not a braindead NPC or someone who's better out of the gene pool regardless.I can picture kids literally dropping anything to grind this shit for two weeks. They deserve it and if they don't learn from this they deserve everything else that's gonna go wrong in their lives from this point onwards. Their parents too.Though I'm also in favor of assfucking corporations for exploiting niggergoycattle. And that's because even advertising itself should be considered psychoterrorism and be illegalized.
>make something like Curiosity: What's Inside The Lootbox? as a gift to fans with no chance of paypigging>they reee at youpoor timmy tencent
>>751169628I meant it as fortnite was the game to show how profitable it was especially with licensed characters causing the live service push infesting games
>>751169196I already dropped this game ages ago.
>>751169234
>>751170261>lie and make a bunch of gullible tards switch to a server where they fight against israelBased?
>>751170226Did you do the Israel trick?
>>751170402No, played on regular human servers. Got it by bombing a vault shortly before they patched that out.
>>751169196first person who flipped out about this being some illegal gambling should neck themselves, revealing odds is for paid lootboxes, not to FREE FUCKING GAME MECHANICSits literally free you nigger FFREEEEEEEE
Sorry /v/ bros OP is just a mentally ill poojeet
>helsiefag had to run from fng to spam here
>zoomers experience random loot drops that aren't a microtransaction for the first time in their lives>they freak the fuck out and have a meltdown, eventually threaten legal action
>>751170226What is even the value of this if it's only for 2 weeks?
>>751169196THEY DID WHAT?I'm kidding I don't give a fuck
>>751169774You argue like a woman. That's the greatest insult you can receive by the way.
>Epic adds chance at free item shop for AN ENTIRE MONTH as a gimmick>Entire fortnite player base cries because they don't get it the first weekendFortnite players don't deserve shit.
>>751169196>Pirate Shop Token>1 in 137,500The gold outfit drop rate is 1 in 1,562,500
>>751170575this is the current shops value todayfor today if they didn't own anything and activated their token it'd be like $2000 worth of cosmetics/music/etc
Wait wait wait, it’s just a low drop rate for a rare item and retarded kids (redundant) are having a melty because they don’t get it for free or minimal effort?
>>751169994what loophole does this possibly involve, idiot?there's no law against giving people free things
>>751170713see >>751170709its worth thousands
>>751170575They charge stupid money for their currency, so getting it all free ain't bad. You don't have to use it right away, so you can wait around until something you want appears.>>751170709A good deal of that amount is just music though, isn't it?
>>751169774this model is irresponsibly hot
>>751170709It is only for 2 weeks though. Temporary. And there's a time limit to use it. You are retarded for caring so much about this
>>751170808don't reply to bait
>>751170828You keep the items permanently, if that's what you're missing here.
>>751169739Touche
>for free>...for 14 daysGoy-cattle.
>>751169196>Has to resort to making bait shit OPs for (You)s Rope is getting louder for you tranny
>>751169704I heard if you kill epic games you get a free oppai loli dragon
>>751169196Imagine playing fortnite
>>751170835Stop telling me what to do, tranny. I have free will
>>751169487I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF HER ASS
>>751170847Oh I guess I'm also retardedSo you have 2 weeks? Wouldn't you only need 1 day to just claim everything in the shop? Or is there a limit to how much you can claim?
>>751170748either you're being intentionally obtuse because you know what I mean and you agree with me, or you truly are this stupid that you don't get the problem. Both possibilities are harrowing for the future of this board.Do not reply to me again.
>>751170984>Do not reply to me again.or else what nigger?
>>751170770But you dont get the items for free. You get them on a 2 week trial.
>>751169196I'm 20 years too old to care about that game
>>751170983yes you can claim everything that shows up in those 2 weeksyou also get another 14 days in 2027>>751171014it's permanent retard
>>751170983The shop refreshes every day, some stuff leaves and more comes in. For two weeks of daily refreshes, you can claim all of it permanently.
>>751169196its sad because this is the first season in months that doesnt have gay bullshit that complicates the game and makes it lopsided (the fruits are pretty tame compared to rift anoms and overrides and OP sprites) and everyone is sick of it already
Why does every Fortnite thread on /v/ inevitably devolve into Helsie Simping? You know there are other skins in the game, right?
>>751170765... for 14 days
>>751169196>higher odds on Israeli serverswell, well, well...
OP if you ever played that subhuman pile of shit in any way you need to be burned to a crisp ASAP for your abysmal taste.
>>751171209will they ever update all the skins to have panties under the skirts/dresses instead of shorts?
>>751171138>brought back player driven battle bus\>retarded faggots just veer to the closest corner of the map so everyone lands in the same quadrant and dies in 5 minutes
>>751169560I don't give a fuck what children are doing. That's their problem and their parent's problem, stop trying to make it my problem.
>>751171209Because she's easily their best design by a considerable margin.
>>751171389Nobody is telling you to make it your problem, autismo. You're really not as important as you think you are. Lmao
>>751169196Because who the fuck plays that shit?
>>751171416they all look the same
>>751171416>best design by a considerable marginI beg to differ, dumb tripfag
>>751169941and flags
>>751169196If it's free, what's the problem?, it is not the same thing for any rare drop in... ANY FUCKING GAME?.
>>751171497>>751171416WHO DO I WAIT FOR BEFORE USING THE TOKEN?
>>751171427I'm literally the main character of life, you fucking NPC.This reply is the only time anybody of note will take notice of your existence, cherish it.
>>751171509They use it to trick people into playing their game.
>>751171509Doesn't matter what you think. The MASSES think that this is predatory and wrong. Your opinion doesn't matter.
>>751169196>retards enter skinner's box>retards get mad at skinner's box>retards boycott skinner's box for 1 day and then get back inside skinner's boxfortnite players are retarded
>>751171509They're trying to pull the kids away from GTA's release. :(
>>751170284>And that's because even advertising itself should be considered psychoterrorism and be illegalized
>>751169560>think of the heckin children!! let their parents handle that
>OP makes a thread telling people to care, proceeds to say those same people's opinions don't matter
>>751169196by this logic shouldnt the lottery be illegal
>>751171654yes
>>751171513The token has an expiry date + these skins are not available anymore
>>751171654Lotteries are required to display the odds.
>>751171497We will have to agree to disagree.
>>751169582Zoomers are so fucked, grinding an event just to use skins for 14 daysIt's like niggers financing hellcats for 300 months lmao
>>751169487you only like her because you can't handle mature women
>>751171740Zoomers are fucked for sure, but your reading comprehension seems to be worse than theirs.
>>751171740>Zoomers are so fucked, grinding an event just to use skins for 14 daysThe skins you buy are PERMANENT you dumb tool. It's the TOKEN that expires after 14 days.Why do retards like you never scroll up before posting garbage
Helsie owes me rimjobs.
>>751171497helsie seems meaner desu
>>751171796there are no mature female skins in Fortnite
>>751169994What part of it is illegal, retard?
>>751171740>unc can't read
>>751171724so epic displayed the oddswhats the issue?
>>751169196>grind and pay money to have access to things for two weekswhat sort of mental illness is this
>>751171830She doesn't look mean to me just alt. In-lore, she is canonically bubbly, extroverted and full of personality
>>751171212From what I understand, you can buy anything that's in the shop for 14 days for free. So anything that pops up in the shop within those 14 days is yours to keep permanently.
>>751169984is that AI
>>751171951maybe
>>751171980did fortnite actually make a cute anime character
>>751171948Yeah, that's it. It even includes the battle passes, but not the bundles with real currency pricetags.
>>751169774Lmao poorfag mad he can't get free shit
>>751171923Its just her looks, also the twitter accounts that catfish as her don't help
>>751169196its hilarious how most of the faggots that bitch about AI still play Fortnite
>>751172016yes kawaii team leader
>>751169196>someone finds it>they put absolute dogshit, lowest selling skins in the shop for the period its used
>>751169196Hello? I have a complaint. This thread was supposed to have 30+ images of this girl by now. Where are they?
>>751169196>zoomzooms complain about getting free shitWow, this surely wouldn't backfire on them at all.
>>751171654No at all. You pay money when you take part in the lottery. This shit is completely free.
>>751171563You would only play to get the token if you already played and liked the game though? Some random isn't going to start playing Fortnite because of this
>>751172118They know exactly what they did when they put these in rotation.
>>751171740It's amazing how many dumb retards are itt that don't understand the simple concept of this reward
>>751172193Anon, I...
>>751172135>this girlYou don't even know her name, you don't deserve her pics
>>751172229You would be fully retarded otherwise. You're not retarded are you?
>>751172221Anons continue to prove they're dumber than the children they mock. What else is new?
>>751169454Why would you not just buy everything instantly if it's free to keep for 14 days?
The best part about helsie is that she's not 18
>>751169714You know you are right but at the same time also wrong.In this case it's justifiable cause retards/kids will panic buy the entire shop cause they won't be able to unlock everything for free.
>>751172278that's the whole point retard
Find a flaw.
>>751172135on r34
>>751169429It is permanent, that is the catch. Every skin you get from the shop during the 2x2 weeks (you will get one for 2026 and 27) is forever yours. The majority of players of any f2p games are poorfags and even if you aren't it would be still huge. More skins than what most paypigs get during the lifetime of the game. Epic knew very well this will make their numbers boost like crazy during the GTA launch no less.
>>751170984or third possibility, you have no idea what you're talking about and are fucking stupidand this is the correct one
>>751172118i'd be fine getting all the songs in the shop since i like playing festivalthey cant possibly fill the entire song shop with nigger mumble rap so i'd get something worthwhile at least
>>751172278Exactly. Hence, the lawsuits. 67 kids are upset that they're not gonna get free shit.
some of you need to be culled
>>751172305my money isn't in her account yet
>>751172278The store has a rotation, everything is only in the store for a brief period before something else replaces it. It updates daily.
>>751171654for the analogy to be actually related, it would be more like saying free sweepstakes should be illegalthis is all a fucking retarded fake outeage controversy
>>751172267You do realize the majority of the world is brown, yes?And you do realize that browns are mostly retarded, right?
>>751172393the most annoying thing about this fake outrage is all the people thinking you only keep the items for 14 dayslike what the fuck is wrong with peoplecan they not read
>>751171324>they added blue coronas that give literally everyone remaining on the bus free XP when the driver passes through>retarded faggots either ignore them or actively avoid them
>open thread>look at Helsie images>close thread
>>751172346she's probably too young to have a bank account
>>751171209Do the others also look like they'd ask me to "lend" her money and then blow it all on dates and holidays with her boyfriend?
Maybe the kids can learn from this
I hope this image turns you off
>>751172530What a slut.
>>751172290Yes and those niggers are already playing the game. You are dumber than those niggers btw
>>751172530wtf? it turned me on
>>751172543All female skins are slut coded
>>751171919you don't pay any money tho.
>>751172558>You are dumber than those niggers btwIf I were truly dumber than those niggers would I be even playing this shit game in the first place hmm?Checkmate faggot.
>>751172336I'm fucking furious at how badly they're fumbling festival with all the dreedful nigger shit
>>751172574How old is she?
>go for a walk on the beach>hear someone howling at you and mocking you from a distanceWat do?
>>751172642Legal
>>751172631i hope the next festival pass wont be niggershoping for teto pass
>>751172627>I-I'm not dumbOnly a dumb nigger would respond to being called dumb
>>751172686that sounds like projection to me buddy
>>751169487Is slurp her butt desu
>>751172410see>>751172558and yes, you are just as dumb as those coons too
>>751172642Why? You wanna count her teeth?
>>751171416lol no, not even close.
>>751172679Pretty sure it's that dr uzi nigger. It lines up with the date I think
>>751172731Yes, even close.
>>751172664Meh, I'll pass.
>>751172771are fishnets part of the work dress code?
>>751172929No but the manager pays her extra for it.
>>751169774Same for the people who defend Valve after all the predatory shit they do. If you think Valve is any better than Epic you need to kill yourself (once you take gaybens dick out of your mouth).This will make hypocrites seeth
Holy shit I was getting burned out on Fortnite but I'm gonna hop the fuck back on and play fill hoping I can get that shit, no I am not being ironic. I love playing Fornite
>>751171209Its just one tranny spamming her, comes from fortnite general on /vg/.
>>751169196This is an extremely scummy way to boost player counts
>>751169196Game's old, move on
>>751172469GUH>>751172659ask if i can buy her some boba tea of course
>>751172968this image is for ants
>>751169196Nobody actually cares about Fortnite.
If it's free to earn the tries, there's no argument for why it should be a higher chance.
>>751169560My 10 year old plays it. He doesn't even know this exists. I don't let he go on social media or watch YouTubers
Sorry uncs, she has a shared BF
>>751173174But the kids are gonna be really sad o algo
>>751171796I prefer older women but can only pull 20 year olds
You spam helsieshit on /vg/ too and constantly get pissy at everyone there, why do you have to act like the most annoying poster on two boards
>>751173185>I don't let he go on social media or watch YouTuberschild abuse

>boycotting a game for children because an item which is supposed to be extremely rare is extremely rareBall & Gun gamers are something else
>>751169196Does anybody actually play FortniteEvery mention about the gameplay is about how it sucks ass and all conversation is about cosmetics
>>751170631>That's the greatest insult you can receive by the way.Is it? Considering how locals worship anything female.
>>751170631Just FYI he does this kind of bait all the time on /fng/, don't waste your time.
>>751169196Nothing new under the sun. Some of us are old enough to remember the same exact scummy tactics used back in 00s/10s when grindy korean MMOs were still relevant.
>>751169196>Long story short:>AIslop summaryKill yourself faggot, and take timmy with you.
>>751169196So it's legal? Yawn.
>>751169196nothingburger
>>751169914So every game ever made with rare loot drops are predatory?
>>751169196Epic doesn't give a fuck. Their player numbers are the highest they've been in 3 years and they struck gold with retards mindlessly grinding chests. And no regulatory agency will do shit because it's not technically gambling as no money is exchanged.
>>751169196If the scandal doesn't involve sex involving (Me) and Helsie, I don't care.
>>751169234>wewhile I do not, my wifes son does. However, hes bright enough to not fall for such jewish tricks. Idk who his dad was and neither does he or his mom, but he must have been genetically based.
>>751175103see>>751169795
>>751169196That's your problem. Most sane people stopped playing fortnite when they started fucking up the game. More specifically, the controller aim assist that is practically a legal aimbot for consoles or PC controller players, giving mobility to everything, shop and BP becoming more expensive and giving less, and the cherry on top? That faggot admitting his client will be vibe coded from now on. At this point, you have only yourself to blame for playing this shitty game and using his shitty client.
>>751169196no-one plays fortnight for it to be news that reaches them. fortnite players are mostly 11 year olds, give or take. It's like how no-one hears about any roblox news, no-one here is 11 years old
>>751171796i cant handle any women
Fortnite started going through a steady decline for me at chapter 3, and completely shit the bed by chapter 5 or 6.
>>751169560If you're brown and your mom doesn't tell you to get off the fortnite because you've been playing it 18 hours that isn't my problem.
>>751175169see >>751175070fortnite is actually older players

>>751169196>Epic finally reveals the odds: 1 in 137,500 per chest AKA Less than 0.00001% droprateas someone who grinded for a pure sharpstone in demon souls twice, i can confirm that this is quite low odds. at black tendency you got about 0.004%. and thatll take you 5-7hrs, unless youre lucky. this is about 400x less than even that>threaten to report Epic to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC)oh sweatyepic is a chinkshit storethe chinks dont give a solitary fuck what your shit says at all. even if its outright illegal and they get told to shut down, theyll just make another one immediately and do the exact same thing. chinks are literally just jews with slant eyes. arguably much worse too, since theres like a million times more of themanyways, the obv solution here is to never ever play such a gay game to begin with. the moment a fucking lootbox pops up on your screen, is the moment you need to stop, turn the game off, then go look at games that came out like 10-15yrs before whatever tf it was you were playing beforeproblems werentmodern problems sometime require antiquated solutions

>>751178443Everything you get in this period is yours to keep forever.
In case anyone is curious. This guy is a pathetic attention seeking faggot from /fng/ that actively avatarfags as this ugly bitch skinIt's why he started coming to /v/ and making generic threads using the bitch as the OP. His life is genuinely so empty that he needs to farm (You)'s with his ugly whore
>>751178554You can clearly see when he ramps up samefagging
>>751178554Nobody cares. Fuck off.

>Game is free.>You don't need to pay to be apart of the pirate token search.>Part of a promotion related to a piece of media based on treasure hunting. Obviously for a limited time.>WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME PLAY THIS GAME I STOPPED PLAYING YEARS AGO YOU'RE FUCKING UP MY LIFE I NEED THE SKINS SHOW ME THE ODD SHOW ME THE FUCKING ODDS OR I'LL SUE.
Fortnite needs to add more furry women, it's been almost a year since Wolfie
>>751169196>Get everything for free>1/137'500 oddsThat doesn't sound unreasonable actually.
>Why is nobody on /v/ talking about this?I'm not a tween nigga, this web sight is over eight teen btw
>>751169196>0.00001% droprateI've grinded for items with worse rates in gook mmos.
I don't get it.>so in this f2p game there is a temporary very small chance to get the skinshop (doesn't affect gameplay) complete unlocked for a temporary period>this is bad because the chance is very small???I don't play fortnite, but even if I did. It's a temporary way to get cosmetics. Who the fuck cares about cosmetics, and who cares about something that lasts 2 weeks
>>751169560EGS jeets really did not like this one huh
>>751169196>Why is nobody on /v/ talking about this?Because this website is for adults and they don't give a fuck about your kiddy game.
>>751179713There are people that have played Diablo 2 for 25 years and still haven't seen a zod rune drop. And that's after the huge buff to droprates almost 20+ years ago.
>>751169196
>>751169487>>751172258>>751172659>>751172771>>751180086need the option to forfeit the pirate token to helsie after spending upwards of 300 hours grinding for it!
>>751180298she deserves it.
>>751176960She's cute.
>>751169196>Epic finally reveals the odds: 1 in 137,500 per chest AKA Less than 0.00001% droprateyou have a better chance of finding actual buried treasure
>>751176960I need to fuck her. Something about this Fortnite skin makes my cock hard.
>>751169196Uh oh, steamie melty.Your whole bloated drm botnet is infused with illegal gambling aimed at children.
the chances of there being anything good in the shop if you do win this pirate token are next to zero too. the shop most often than not features criminals (gangsta rap slop) and cape shit.
>>751180086Skin name?
>>751180670definitely legal slut
>>751169196Everyone involved in this needs to die.
>>751179162bratty issues
>>751169196>Fortnite Who cares, just post sluts and we good here
>>751169196Still better odds than finding a golden ticket in a chocolate bar.Kids nowadays don't know how good they have it.
>>751169560And they were playing the game before this promotion. All this promotion is that playing the game might get you some ultra rare thingy as well as whatever enjoyment you get from the regular gameplay.
>>751169196>no pity guarantee for getting the thing that gets you the entire cash money shop for free for 2 weeks at any time of your choosingWhy would there be? The odds are ass but were you not expecting them to be basically like winning the lottery? This game cuts its teeth on buying up a bunch of IPs and sing FOMO to get children to max out their parents credit cards, this is the least offensive thing about this shitty game and also you're a fucking no-taste bitch for playing it, person reading this.
>>751169487
>>751169560I am entitled to winning the lottery
>>751174902No- this would actually be illegal under the DSA in the EU.Game mechanics aimed at keeping you artificially engaged with a game - e.g. grinding for a very attractive piece of loot that has an infinitessimally small chance of actually dropping; esp. where it ties to acquiring content you otherwise have to PAY for - are considered harmful content and companies aren't allowed to serve that to kids.This could land Epic in violation of the DSA and a fine of up to 4% annual worldwide turnover.
>>751169196Like, of course an item which makes the store free for 2 weeks is going to be so rare you cant farm for it.Its like the euromillion lottery ticket, they aint gonna just hand that out for free.People are just dumb.
>>751169560So wgat shoukd happen then is a parrnt should stop their child from playing the game then, instead of asking the goverment to ban it and make games worse
>>751169196>noooo the lootbox game has shit drop rates>why is nobody talking about this
>>751181398
>>751169774Anyone playing shartnight is a subhuman on a scale that made any abuse they endure a good thing.
>1 in 137,500Those are fairly average odds for rare items in massive multiplayer games such as mmos for top rare items
>>751169487where can i find bottoms like those
>>75118408216-18 year old girls
>>751169196>Unlocks almost the entire Item Shop for free for 14 daysThat's lame, so the unlocks aren't even permanent? Why bother?
>>751172080Dark version for pj's when
>>751172574
>when epic does lootboxes they suddenly arent lootboxesInteresting
>>751172659
>>751184532Giantess stuff isn’t supposed to be popular stop gentrifying my degeneracy
>>751184594It's not popular, we're on a dying niche website full of retards.
>>751183506Your average Fortnite player hasn't had their balls drop yet and doesn't understand probability.
>>751184229How are so many people failing to wrap their heads around this? No, it’s 14 days of getting anything and everything from the shop, permanently, for free. Actually two 14 day windows so a month of free item shop access. Staggering too, the amount of faggot retards in this thread pretending not to understand how predatory it is to dangle the chance at like minimum $500 dollars worth of shit in front of children’s faces and saying it could be theirs but only for a limited time if they get lucky and play constantly
Absolutely blessed thread, rage addicted retards jerking each other off arguing then random posts are like>I wish fortnite girl would spit on me and step on my whole town and give me a 0.00001% chance to unlock my chastity cageand nobody actually cares because no one plays fortnitetop lel
>>751169196Only kids and Indians play Fortnite and support Tim Sweeny
>>751169196>crying about odds for a FREE lootbox>calls it gambling somehowretards like you should buy a rope and jump through it neck first
>>751169560>predatory>free mechanic>no money lost>completely luck based as it should begachaniggers need to be wiped off this planet
>>751169560uoh
>>751169196So it sounds to me like someone didnt get their token and got ass mad they actually had to play the game to find it and use it.
>>751184942Maybe he should have phrased it better? I mean now that you explain it I can see why people are being retarded over it. Yeah it's fucked up but hey that's natural selection.
>>751169196You guys have never played videogames before i can tell
>>751185292>you can only gamble with money!Retarded nigger
>token that gives you everything>random dropsI DIDNT GET MINE REEEEEEE
>>751169196I don’t care about humanity any more
Dear FTC, be based and kill EPIC Games and Unreal engine for good
>>751185474>you can only gamble with moneythat's how gambling works you turbo nigger
>>751169196>>Epic refuses to disclose the drop ratestime is a flat circle
>>751185438Yes that’s fair I see how it might be confusing. My estimate on the dollar value was also way fucking off, they’re dangling a gift card for $10,000 in toys in front of kids faces to squeeze more playtime
>>751169614https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SealioningHere's you're explanation bro.
>>751185292I bet you complain in gacha threads too
>>751185680hnnnnng
>>751185686You mean you have to play the game to find one even though theyre rare? Oh man, oh jeez, I cant watch a markiplier video and get it? I cant just "press x"?
>>751169196Ahhh I'm experiencing FOMO of being able to use cosmetic slop for 14 days AHHHH
>>751185780no i dont because im not a lootbox addicted faggot like you lol. i dont get dopamine spikes from getting a png
>>751185580Here’s some life advice for you, you stupid bitch. When you don’t know what a word means, it’s generally good practice to look it up. It’ll be good for your shithead brain to learn something new every now and then
>>751185892>lootboxes are different from gacha because... they just are
>>751185927You type like an Indian
>>751185846Yes dude NICE, that was a really funny post, you got that nigger!
>>751169582They're poor because they're fucking stupid. This is an advertisement. How do you think they'll feel when the demo expires and they're left with nothing? They'd probably steal their parents credit card and spend millions... that's why they're fucking poor, you retard... they have no brain.
>>751185948Technically lootboxes are worse because there's never a guarantee to get anything whereas gachas almost always have a pity system that guarantees you the chase character after a certain point that you can reasonably do. They also usually guarantee something of a lower tier that's still viable too. Only the powercreep autobattlers don't do that.
>>751169196lol
>>751185972Huh? I was just joking about the mindset of the people that are complaining.
>>751186038But lootboxes have quirk chungus tiktok dances in them instead of anime girls therefore it's okay for me to drop $200 on them
>>751170574Truke
>>751171416>>751171497lexa mogs both btw
>>751185292It's because the "free drop" is linked to unlocking the cash shop, which means it has an equivalent cash value.If there were no cash shop MTX and it was just a super rare drop that unlocks everything you can earn in-game it'd be hype and cool.As it stands it's just a FOMO tactic to boost sales, get people playing constantly on the hope of hitting it big and they will get into the habit and start spending.Also a useful marketing tactic for streamers, people will watch just to see if the streamer wins and that boosts engagement too.If there were no cash shop none of this would work the way it does.Behead those who enable microtransactions.
>>751169196Is this like complaining that Blizzard wont disclosure loot tables?
>>751169196Zod rune in pre 1.10 diablo 2 was less than one in a million drop. anyone who got one is talking about it 25 years later so i think thats a good thing. the best i got myself was cham in resurrected so not even close
>>751185948>semantics argumentso a gambling addict's best argument as to why this free lootbox mechanic in fortnite is "gambling" is because...gacha and lootbox are different? ok faggot lmao
>massive scandalIf this were a loot box you could pay for or spend any kind of money to increase your odds with, then and only then would this be worth talking about. But it's not. There's no option to pay to up your chances. This is basically a free sweepstakes. Epic is doing nothing wrong here.
>>751169196>Epic of exploiting FOMOkek free to play games have always exploited FOMO and Fortnite is no exception the pirate token is just the peak of FOMO in Fortnite, Marvel Rivals hit peak FOMO with the Infinity War event where you can only access the event during a certain time of the day
>>751181593I believe you're thinking about the Digital Fairness Act which hasn't passed yet.https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20251013IPR30892/new-eu-measures-needed-to-make-online-services-safer-for-minors>ban engagement-based recommender algorithms for minors and disable the most addictive design features by default;>MEPs support the idea that persuasive technologies, such as targeted ads, influencer marketing, addictive design, loot boxes and dark patterns, be tackled under the future Digital Fairness Act. The report calls for EU action to address manipulative features like infinite scrolling, autoplay, disappearing stories, and harmful gamification practices that deliberately exploit minors’ behaviour to boost engagement and spending.The line about addictive features would 100% apply if it was already law.
>>751169452Fortnite battle royale has peaked at like 2+ million people are definitely playing
>>751169774i'm not defending them over it but creating a lawsuit over it is ridiculous i already knew it was something they invented to push the player count up and it has worked considering the player count is still in the millions
>>751169196>This could be HUGENo it won't, and Timmy will say LOL
>>751169349they're betting time, the only thing they have, for a small chance of something.
>>751186906Are you an ESL?
>>751169487Would cum inside of until I can’t feel my legs desu
>>751185686If you played the game 16 hours a day for the past week as like a “job” you’d have played 112 hours, so to expect to get the token is like expecting them to pay you $90 an hour. People are hella dumb to not have realized it’s just fun lottery shit and not something you’re supposed to actually grind.But I guess little kids don’t have that concept of money yet they are busy taking Holocaust history and toxic masculinity courses
>>751169196>boycottlmao you zoomernigs are gonna get withdrawal shakes after the 1st day and go back to playing
>>751169196Im doing a suicide challenge with this. If i dont get the shop medal before the season ends, Then my life ends.Its will be fun.
>/v/ pisses and moans endlessly about gacha>suddenly it's okay when the biggest retard in the gaming industry with multiple suits against him for exploiting children implements exactly the same thing, except ten times worse
>>751189164Because Fortnite is the most popular game of all time. Gacha doesn't even have gameplay. It's not the same thing.
>>751169234>>751170374We do though?
>>751169196>"long story"ok, I just gonna read the short story because who gives af>no short story on OP...and once again, OP sucking dicks
>>751189164>suddenly contrarians and streetshitters says it's okay whenfixed, no need to thank me
But it's a free thing and you literally can't buy it.How could this possibly hold in in court? Might as well target drops in Monster Hunter.
>>751189191>gambling is okay because I'm gambling for a Kratos skin
>Fortnite fans when they find out of about no-purchase-necessary sweepstakes
>>751169234Fpbp
have you guys also noticed that metal gear 1 and metal gear 2 had an insane graphical evolution in between, and they were released 5 years apart, BUT nowadays we've been playing fortinte for 20 years and it's exactly the same game? Boy, life is weird
>>751189318Gambling isn't illegal.
>>751189440You'd think it was by how much /v/ moans about gacha
>>751189593I think they're moaning for other reasons
No one is mentioning the cosmetics that are even rarer than the token.It is a literal 1 in 1.5 million drop, and you can only chase after them for a week. That's 4000+ chests per hour if you want even a 48% chance.Oh and you can only find it for a week. Lmao
That's not even an insane prize if you think about it. There's probably only like 50 bucks worth of shop items that actually appeal to a specific person across any given half month period. And none of them will be unique things other players can't purchase normally.Those fucking kids food sweepstakes have better prizes than this.
>>751189637The Golden Miku grind will cause people to die from being too sedentary
>Players start grinding thousands of chests>Epic refuses to disclose the drop rates>Streamers spend 70+ hours hunting for itmore of this please. these losers deserve to suffer. maybe they'll learn something.
Why are people this fucking obsessed about getting a handful of Fortnite skins as if it's a big deal, also looking to see Fortnite crash and burn?If you wanted to see Tim Sweeney suffer for good reason you wouldn't be enticed by the prize in the first place.
>>751169234retard alert
>>751189854It blows me away people are literally complaining that they have to play the game to find it. It's a rare drop but you won't find it not playing it, or expecting to hand cash to epic. I have no problems with it, but the whining over it is entertaining
They could use the casino argument, like any possible chance that isn't being fixed is a fair game... but then that means admitting that loot boxes are actually gambling targeting kids
>>751169196>Epic finally reveals the odds: 1 in 137,500 per chest AKA Less than 0.00001% droprateOP in charge of math, it's 0.0007%
>>751190128
>>751169196controversy aside i don't get why you'd want to grind for thisthe purpose of cosmetics is to be unique from other playersby the end of this event there'll be thousands of people with this token and since it expires in 14 days they'll all be forced to buy the same shit in the store Therefore making it extremely common?

>>751187248No, I'm thinking of the DSA. Concretely article 28 for the protection of minors.The EU Commission put out a guidance note on that article in fall 2025, which included a rather large dissertation on what the law was meant to cover as harmful content. Among there are things like lootboxes or other mechanisms that are gambling-adjacent, as well as game mechanics that serve to artificially keep players engaged, such as daily login rewards or rewards that require heavy daily grinding to have a shot at obtaining them.
>fighting bots simulator>with those new gay shitty maps>and overprices skinsNO THANKS. Game is fundamentally fun, but as all of the gaming industry loves to do, they don't let it be an actual game.

>>751169196Surely anyone who's old enough to give a shit about exact odds would understand that a free-to-play lottery isn't something that's just going to pay out after enough of a grind.

>>751169234Pretty much this. Fortnite is for half-breed children to watch spiderman dance to niggerbop coon-toons.

>>751196996I play zero build a lot, but ive barely spent money on cosmetics. I remember when you could earn vbucks by playing. I had like 2000 once. Forgot what I spent it on, but they do have cool shit time to time and it sucks you have to spend money. I really wanted the jill valentine skin

>>751202717Im not even fucking joking, you can blame epstein for this. He pitched this idea way back before this started happening. He knew kids would have their parents shelling out $50 or more for their kids to have a different skin and other shit. It wasnt actually about fortnite, it was about in general. I keep forgetting he was a fucking financial genius beside the other shit.
There are better girls?
>>751169560It's as predatory as any other lottery raffle system, They always dangle some tantalizing reward in front of millions of people with an impossibly low chance of winning. How deep you go in the hole chasing the reward (while knowing it is near impossible to win) is entirely on you.The problem with this situation is people expect this to work like a gacha with a pity system, that a lottery is obliged to pay out because you bought 1,000 tickets. (or in this case invested 100 hours in opening thousands of chests)
>>751207853You can usually get the battlepass for 800 - 1000 vbucks which pays for itself if you play pretty often. But yeah they usually put the cosmetics people actually want in the shop for a lot more vbucks.
