Quoted in the article:

“i propose a new fortnite rule: if you see someone in a cybertruck, you are now in a truce with everyone else in the lobby until they’re taken out. this repeats as many times as necessary until everyone that bought this stupid thing is gone. normal gameplay proceeds.“

If only they could muster that sort of unity against all mxt and fomo.

Thats absolutely the kind of rule that gets crowd sourced and becomes real, real fast.

Rocket league has/had like a half dozen rules nearly everyone knows.

almost makes me want to play Fortnite just to join, but that feels like added engagement because of Tesla so I won't

That is astronomically fucking funny

I'm so confused about what fortnite even is now. It used to be a game where you fought zombies, now I have no idea

It’s a game where you summon towers out of your ass and then get sniped by a 12 year old who fucked your mom

So it's CoD but with building mechanics

I played that back when it was called Team Fortress.

Edit: I didn't mean that to be dismissive of Fortnite or ignore the vast differences, just commenting on that particular description which perfectly matches playing an engineer in TF2 and I think TF, but that was a long time ago.

My wife's been playing a bunch of it and honestly best I can tell it's an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with a easy-to-use game engine for beginners to make mini games in (similar to Roblox's various games) with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing.

Which is kinda confusing given Epic also has Core which is also an Unreal Engine tech demo combined with easy-to-use game engine with integrated hosting, release, discovery, authentication and payment processing

Oh and Fortnite has its official Battle Royale mode that's largely a copy of PUBG

the zombies now look like cybertrucks

You must have been confused for the passed 7 years then.

You don't buy it right? I didn't check the store, but I saw its a reward from a quest.
