Fortnite’s Big Change is Dredging Up Old Complaints as Fans Can’t Decide if it’s Good or Not

Despite being one of the biggest live-service games in recent years, its immense popularity does not prevent the community from voicing their concerns when they deem it necessary.

Epic Games recently confirmed a change in handling Fortnite Crew Pack exclusivity. The studio confirmed in a recent Q&A that the shop will not sell any item or character included in this exclusive membership separately. This has divided fans, with some believing the studio should focus more on improving the game rather than on cosmetics.

Fortnite Season Pass and the Management of Future Content Will Undergo a Significant Change

In what has been one of the most controversial seasons in recent years, Epic Games took a big risk by changing all the mechanics to focus solely on vehicles.

Many players found these changes quite annoying and decided to abandon the game until the next season. However, a large portion of fans embraces these changes and always enjoys the originality brought to the game.

However, the studio recently changed the future handling of certain skins and cosmetics, particularly those included in a Fortnite Season Pass. The company appears to have decided to reintroduce these items into the shop after a prolonged period.

They also provided clarity on how they will manage the content in the Crew Packs for monthly subscribers. The cosmetics are stealing all the attention from the studio.

Many Players Believe the Studio Is Focusing Too Much on Monetizable Content

Subscribers to Fortnite Crew Packs will have exclusive access to everything within their subscription, making it unavailable in the shop without a subscription.

This also includes legacy skins, which are a common feature in the subscription. Only subscribers will have access to all of this, with no future additions to the shop for other types of players. Part of the community is unsure whether this decision is right or not.

For some time now, players have been urging the studio to prioritize game adjustments, especially when it comes to balancing weapons and the temporary addition of new abilities each season.

Other users on platforms like Reddit suggest the studio should focus on both aspects, ensuring that cosmetics are accessible to everyone and not always exclusive.

In the end, Fortnite is at a critical juncture when it comes to cosmetic content and the revenue constraints imposed by the Battle Pass. Some players enjoy skipping a season or two.

The problem also lies in the fact that too much time has passed since the older seasons, and those skins are highly desired by players, so it might not be a bad idea to consider reintroducing them to the shop with variations.
