A large reason kids play Fortnite is because it provides a space to socialize - it's a lot harder for kids to get anywhere without a parent driving, these days, and the parents are a lot less likely to leave the kids unattended, which tends to put a damper on things. Even malls often try to discourage crowds of teens, if you can even get there without a drive.
- ndnxhs 8y agoVery much true. I ended up playing games I didn't even like just because it was a way to meet up with friends from school who all lived about 15 - 30km away
- Nasrudith 8y agoReminds me of Christiana Mall in New Jersey's "Suicide by Ageism". They implemented a policy banning unaccompanied teenagers after 5pm - despite having 16 year olds working there! Articles in 2008 mention the boycott and the owner of the mall went bankrupt in 2009. Malls weren't their healthiest then and had grown beyond sustainability but talk about fast turn-around.
- justtopost 8y agoIf you think fortnite is healthy socializing, i cant argue. I do not agree in the slightest.
- TulliusCicero 8y agoThat's very obviously not what they were saying. You sound like you're stuck on a point you want to make about "damn kids playing Fortnite" and not bothering to listen.
