If the fact that you happened to play a game before other people is something you're actively and intensely proud of, you're a fucking loser.

Alternatively, if you respect yourself, don't play Fortnite.

I'm starting to think that video game culture is just a complex psy-op designed to redirect the youth's energy for protesting injustice to the most trivial shit.

I prefer the way world of warcraft did it.

I had an original amani war bear mount which was exclusively available between patches 2.3 and 3.0 if you completed a very hard timed dungeon available once per 3 days (1 mount per completed run and there were ten people per run, so also limited by that). Some years later after people complained about not being able to get it anymore blizzard added the amani battle bear mount which is visually the same but a recolor. That way you still get the cool mount but the og earners still feel special.

Or maybe don't trust a games company that only focussed on revenues to the point where any grind item can just be bought so progression is not a factor in game design.

To be an OG ForkKnife player is to be constantly under attack

I'm an OG Fortnite player (c. 2017)...

E: Ok it was meant to be a joke, I've played 3 solo games, as if it's something to be proud of.

There goes my hero,

Perhaps it was a veiled attempt to discourage people from paying money for pixels on a screen after paying for pixels on a screen?

The point of digital goods is that scarcity doesn't have to be taken into account, stop taking away our strengths.

EVERYBODY gets the Renegade Skin!

I play DBD, I have a lot of event exclusive skins, when I see other people get them after the event isn't exclusive anymore, my reaction is "Oh hey, now this can be a skin instead of a status symbol."
