while I agree there are certainly adults playing. Web search of fortnite demographics put A LOT (like a 50% or more at < 24). My own anecdotal experience in squads is that half are probably teens. So - the parent comment is certainly con

question: what makes hanging out in fortnite different from hanging out in a popular new bar; and corollary : moving on to the new cool bar when it opens up? I've played a bunch of fortnite last year, even spent a bit of money on some

This is an interesting idea - and sailplanes can carry a lot more than 2 people :) ex. Waco CG-4 . That said, they were also nick named "flying coffins". re: winch tow - when I was an Air Cadet in canada as a teen, we used to fly
