Is Fortnite basically dead now?

I really wish it was dead. It was so depressing to see fortnite go from such a simple grassroots game to one full of monitisation, sweats and kids. Honestly it started dying from the day they added the battle pass. I get that they needed to do it to bring in a larger audience and to start earning money from it but it ruined so much of the game.

The popularity of streamers definitely didnt help either and just served to bring more wannabes to the game.

Before there was seasons it was the best. Open the game and there was one screen, straight into a game.

Friendly fire as well, used to be so funny to go on squads and shoot up your team.
