So now, multiplayer games feel like a chore if you want to access the cool event.

    That's exactly why I stopped playing Fortnite, it started feeling more like a chore than a game. I didn't feel like I was rewarded for participating, but being punished for not participating.

    Timegated content is the worst, it just creates FOMO
