Fortnite is almost 10 years old, I'd be interested to see the average age of the playerbase. People have less time for games when they get older.

My nephew was deep into Fornite for years - now at 15 he (and his friends) moved on to GTA V. Imagine what a treasure trove of gaming you can discover as a teenager today, looking back at a pool of 15-20years of great games.

I started playing in my late 40s, but it got stale pretty quickly. Epic keeps changing things to try to keep it fresh, but they change the wrong things: usually making the game harder and more frustrating for casual players, in order to cater to pros and streamers. When I started playing, I could win a few matches if I got lucky. Three chapters / 15+ seasons later, I get spanked within 5 minutes of joining a match by people who live and breathe the game. I stopped playing because it's just not very fun for someone who just logs on once a week to play for a half an hour or so.

Interestingly the pros and streamers have the exact opposite complaint: that they dumb the game down for casuals.

Can't please everyone/anyone.

My 11 year old son plays Fortnite almost daily. He plays other games too but Fortnite is what he plays with his friends online.
