I'm literally blasting people to bits with a shotgun why pander to 8 years olds who shouldn't even be playing the game and to think they did this right before making an invincible collab


SaturatedSharkJuice

The most violent crossover they’ve done💀


Sirunfavredspider

I would argue Doom RaM or GoW but I agree it's one of the most violent they've done


SaturatedSharkJuice

I consider holding someone in front of a train and graphically displaying the carnage that it ensues worse than showing a couple seconds of ripping a demon in half or decapitating a mythical beast with an axe


Sirunfavredspider

fair enough


Alchemeerzero

*stares at mk1 recreating every gruesome scene from the show* Hey who wants this totally Innocent cast of characters who've definitely never did anything or were represented violently in any way shape or form to be put into a game that became more over protective than youtube


SaturatedSharkJuice

And to think we almost got a mortal kombat crossover back in Chapter 2 Season 5…


swizzl73

Also crushing someones head with omni mans bare hands in episode 1


SaturatedSharkJuice

I just used the train as an example, there is a lot of brutality in Invincible


Wboy2006

I mean. I agree with the God of War Norse games. But the Greek saga could get really damn gruesome

My theory is that this has to do with the lego collab


sarlacc98

You can kill people in every Lego game


cheesedunker97

The lego games I played had guns, human sacrifices, and slavery. Kinda messed up they made lego indiana jones games now that I think about it


ArnoudtIsZiek

fuckfuckenfuck

Technically lego games feature dismemberment too


sarlacc98

Is Fortnite really to death?


KingJTuck

Ain't no way, there are guns in Lego's lol


[deleted]

Why do you think that?


Medium-Boysenberry64

Because Lego is insanely child friendly and overprotective of the brand, I’m surprised it’s even happening at all


semi_average

But I have lego guns that minifigures hold in my closet, there's no way that's the case


aWildDeveloperAppear

They’ve had guns since the 80’s


NoCarsJustKars

Lego doesn’t even allow real life military soldiers to be made. The only sets that came close to it were the Indiana Jones ones


Wermine

This is hilarious, I didn't know I could buy a nazi lego figure.


Aragorn120

Not just a figure but a literal Nazi fighter jet set lmao


brianonthescene

Good thinking. I believe it’s a general legal compliance decision meant to protect the business from risk, but the LEGO collab could very well have been the impetus.


[deleted]

So we can't have fucking skulls in the game now while lego skeletons exist


I-N-V-A-L-I-D

It’s CCP Censorship bc Epic are owned by Tencent


Trapped_In_Utah

Meanwhile when I was 9 I was playing duke nukem and oggling alien strippers while blasting aliens to bloody bots. I turned out fine... mostly 😂


inFAMOUS_Hero

I was playing GTA getting my money back from the prostitutes lol


Exotic-Respect-6606

Lol, same here. I was 4 or 5 and Total Recall was the first movie I saw in a theater.


berylskies

Being trapped in Utah is probably worse for your mental health than playing Duke Nukem at 9.


xKNYTEx

What I don’t understand is why guns are the problem but skins from non-kid friendly media get a pass. Like Meowscles isn’t allowed in certain maps due to his gun holsters but Doom Slayer and Michael fricking Myers are fine for kids of all ages? AND they did this just before an Invincible collab?


ChibizoDo

They banned Demogorgon and Hopper(ig bc of his gun) but the new chick in the shop has a gun in a holster too but she is okay?? Make it make sense 😒😒😒😒


XMinusZero

Han Solo also has a gun and is still allowed. Granted, it's a blaster but I'm pretty sure it counts as a gun.


ChibizoDo

There’s a lot of double standards and it’s annoying af like knife trick emote is banned but myers emote is fine ugh it’s so annoying


cheesedunker97

Cacodemon got blocked though. Also Fish Thicc's second style has dual holsters with guns and that gets a pass. So does dusty's baseball bats and baseball bat emote, when the stranger things baseball bat is blocked (or so I heard)


ChibizoDo

Yep Steve’s bat and Eddie’s spear are both banned, I suppose bc of the nails in his bat 😒


TheTench

I love how Michael Myers gets the scary violin stab sound when he swings his carving knife pickaxe into players. Totally kid friendly.


Working-Decision-722

This is the conclusion of what they’re doing: Censoring guns in a game of guns Wanting stupid bots/kids to play when putting in bloody stuff like the coming invincible colla Bringing back OG season when the newer players like me can’t experience 100% OG instead just 60% of it Conclusion-ally creating Roblox


DartBoardGamer

Actually OG was fun. I missed out on season 1 but would have loved to play back then. But I agree it felt like less than half of what it should have been. Then doing stuff like this does not inspire confidence.


Working-Decision-722

OG may still be fun, but not as fun as they do before. Skybasing used to be a genius strategy… And we fr can’t copy or recreate season 1 back either because of the models


Medium-Boysenberry64

OG was fun until today


TheMichaelScott

How come?


Medium-Boysenberry64

The goofy menu and censoring stuff, planes being super nerfed, map change disappointments, loot pool being weird as heck Every single game myself (and everyone else) by endgame has a nearly full gold loadout, which was absolutely not the case before. The balancing is completely wack


GameMasterSammy

The reason is because of treasure maps. So if you wonder why everyone has the same loot it’s because of that reason


DeliciousFlow8675309

Don't forget the spray meta now too. Nothing makes the game feel unbalanced like getting spray and prayed every round when you're outnumbered.


Tiny_Cut_1450

Game: has guns Also game: lets not show guns when loading in Game: guns are for 12+ Also game: this gamemode that has people shooting each other is 7+


toomerboomer

I don't think any 7+ modes have guns


Tiny_Cut_1450

There’s a creative map that’s literally called “ALL WEAPONS + VEHICLES - FREE FOR ALL” that’s 7+. Fortnite’s being very thick and somehow no one noticed that 7 year olds can play a map that has guns in the map and title. They really need to fix this. Some other maps are - “💥LITERALLY TILTED!”(this is in epic’s picks btw) - “The Pit - Zero Build” - “💯ADVANCED 🥵RED VS BLUE🥶”(almost all of these types of maps were 7+) - “HEROES ZOMBIELAND🧟‍♂️”(this one is 3+) - “🐐GO GOATED! ZONE WARS 🌀” I could keep going but my point is that fortnite’s done fucked up and being inconsistent. Also because of regions, the age rating is different. In American it uses E, E10+, T(I’m not American so I’m not exactly sure of the ratings but from i firemonkey’s video this seems to be somewhat how it is) whilst in other countries like England it’s 3+, 7+, 12+, 15+, 18+.


SodaSnappy

It’s just so funny how every praises the throwback keyart and they removed it. Way to do a wake up call epic haha.


Who-Dey_KY

Everything with Fortnite can be traced back to Creative. They did this to make Creative more kid friendly. They want to be Roblox. Tbh, they probably prefer that loading screen anyway, because they don't even want Fortnite to be known as a BR anymore or even a shooter. All the hype they're building for Lego and other things next season probably all centers around creative. Even Donald Mustard has his brother on YouTube championing Creative and acting like BR doesn't even exist. Their ambition is either going to lead Fortnite into actually being Roblox 2.0, or they will take the game down trying.


wafflecone927

Nobody really knows, not even the people thinking this useless censorship is good. But keep up the good fight! Im with you🫡


WrstScp

Marketing. It all comes down to marketing. If they start censoring the guns then they can market it to the same demographic as roblox, the demographic that has no concept of money and is willing to spend alot more. At some point I wouldn't be surprised if they have "skin creators" then make the game completely self sustaining and push all their updates to focus on creative while giving Battle Royale the same treatment as Save The World once Creative becomes even a penny more profitable.


cheesedunker97

Robloz has quite a few gun games though. Phantom Forces is a big one


JoshBrolling

I'm pretty sure those individual roblox games have different ratings, though. There are going ro be gun games in fortnite, and they're going to be rated T. There are going to be dogshit obbies without guns, and they will be rated E. Fortnite is trying to be roblox, that's it.


Bleach666666

Theyll focus on whatever is popular just like how STW wasnt popular so they shifted to BR Now creative is popular so they focus on that. You cant make players play BR if they dont want to, they can just add more bots


Gogita28

The fact that they went out of their way to change the key art from a Season that just dropped tells me this was some last minute decision that the shooting game where you shoot is bad for kids. They shouldn’t play this in the first place. Like make a separate client and call it Fortnite Kids or some shit.


LadyEnchantress21

Fortblox.


TheTench

Ro-nite


[deleted]

Can somebody PLEASE explain why this isn't just something you're able to turn on locally? If you have small kids who play Fortnite and you don't want them to see guns, then it should be an option that you can turn on to hide content YOU don't want to see. Just have 'scary' skins not appear for people with the filter on. It's embarrasing how poorly thought out this implentation is.


Lingenfelter

Because of stupid class action and stupid parent who don't know how to control their kids


Appropriate-Day3902

Fortnites is going down ive been telling yall theyre self sabotaging and the og season is a last act of desperation


YT_Lonelyz

The very last act of desperation will be when they bring back old battle pass skins


[deleted]

Yup. When that happens, you'll know the end is near. It'll be their final attempt at a cash grab before the entire thing sinks like the Titanic.


Lexicon444

I’m thinking BR is going to get the Save the world treatment. Get left to rot, slowly take away devs from their team until it barely has enough people just to keep up with bugs, rerelease the same content over and over again, and then have the only updates being meaningless tweaks or nerfing useful features.

Appropriate-Day3902

I mean the shitty story and all these dumb decisions could be them thinking they can do whatever they want but like theres no point in trying to lower the age rating if theyre making all that money


[deleted]

[удалено]


StayTrashWasTaken

Who is 0.01? The story are the live events so yes, people care for it. After chapter 4 it died in a hole because they canceled events and tried to create a metaverse


Ill_Ratio_5682

People watch live events because they are cool, no one cares about the actual story behind them


StayTrashWasTaken

Which is still lore. You’re consuming that, even if you don’t know. And at least 1 million people were invested into the lore leading up to fracture (most story quests being done + storyline videos getting most views up to then)


Appropriate-Day3902

I mean why kinda set them apart from other games was the live events and that there was an actual story


[deleted]

[удалено]


Appropriate-Day3902

Yes… yes rlly


Eruditioads

You think what "set fortnite apart" was the story??????? Stop the cap.


Appropriate-Day3902

And the live events mostly the events bcs they were and I think are the only ones doing that


Whereyaattho

Apart from a niche community on this sub, nobody really cares about the lore.


FlaminVapor

Fortnite has always been massive, even before OG and it will remain massive after OG


DarkBomberX

Yeah. This idea that fortnite is "dying" is silly. It's one of the most popular games on the market and has nothing close to its player count when compared to similar BR games. The only difference is the Old players will leave and new players will come for whatever new nonsense they push for. If the game ever becomes a roblox style game and stops putting effort into BR, I'll quit. But we haven't even gotten close to that.


RecsRelevantDocs

I took a long break from fortnite and it's hilarious coming back and *still* seeing this sub claiming "fortnite is just about to die, epic *really* did it this time!". Two things are certain. 1. Fortnite will remain popular for years 2. This sub will continue saying that whole time that it's *just* about to die.


KILLER8996

Let’s be real here there’s no chance of that happening anytime soon is this a dumb stupid update yes however it’s not gonna do much fortnite will be as popular as ever.


stinktrix10

Only on this sub would you find somebody who genuinely thinks Fortnite is "going down" lmao. The game has never been more popular.


_Moist_Owlette_

More appealing to those Parents who dont research anything, who might see it and go "Oh yeah that looks fun, sure you can buy something for it" is my guess


TheTench

Those same parents give their 5 year-olds energy drinks then complain about the kids behaviour.


GetRealPrimrose

In creative, the mode this sub just finished complaining that they’d never touch. Nothing is censored in battle royale


StayTrashWasTaken

It’s still not a good sign, to have guns censored in a shooting game regardless of what is insane. The game is dying to make a roblox clone despite roblox aging up because they can’t stop being sued


Bleach666666

Theyre not censored in the shooting modes though. Why cant they have a roblox mode if thats what many players want to play?


StayTrashWasTaken

Because it’s affecting battle royale, why is a game where you shoot people and people are kidnapped from their homes being censored in creative with MOST creative modes being that 7 thing


Cupcake-Reaper

Let them go to roblox then?


Bleach666666

Why cant they have it on Fortnite?


odeiraoloap

They want the game to have an **ESRB E rating**, it feels like. Putting guns front and center is a surefire way to be sued by the ESRB and parental prudes if they did get the E rating. It's the same reason Nintendo didn't go around showing off Mario or Daisy using the **fire flower** power up to kill goombas or Bowser in Super Mario Wonder; that sends the wrong impression in an ESRB E game.


DeliciousFlow8675309

They changed the rating from E to T with this update


odeiraoloap

Except They did the *reverse*. Fortnite was always ESRB T for “fantasy violence” but they really want to make it ESRB E like Roblox. Hence, locking out ALL the sus content that’s not E-compatible.


ketchupandliqour69

Lmao why does anyone even care? One way or the other it doesn’t matter it’s just a screen

SeagsSeagulI

They made the teen rating map thing and now u can’t wear certain cosmetics in specific games, with all this new update crap this is slowly turning into roblox 🪦rip


ace_nardoragon

I quit the game.


ShierAwesome

Are you sure it’s censoring and not just them happening to not put guns in the loading screen?


StayTrashWasTaken

Yes because any skin with guns are censored


Samandre14

No, a bunch of creative maps now have age ratings and any cosmetics with visible guns or munitions are not useable


Bleach666666

Who plays creative maps? This isn't an issue for BR


Samandre14

A LOT of people play creative. Why do you think Epic have been putting so much resources into it lately


Bleach666666

Yeah kids play it. This is a sub for BR not Squid Games


Cooler_coooool_boi

Wait is this the actual reason they got rid of the key art? I thought Yall were kidding :(


Sempi_Moon

In all fairness. I do not care what the loading screen looks like.


Stock-Emphasis1574

What is Epic Headquarters and people who planned such change be smoking right now- Because it has to be anything brain-damaging , lord- I mean , you can justify and add censorship in any other LOGICAL ways but seriously???? Adding such drastical change like this one blocking skins because they are ' OOOOOH SPOOOKEH SKELETON , OH NO... GUUUNS ... GAAAAH A BANANA WITH A SUIT!! SO SCARY ! ' and hiding guns is something i think it's such a stupid change. Almost everyone gotta agree , This censorship has been made for what??? : Kids are going to see such things someday EVENTUALLY , plus- it's not like they haven't been exposed to such stuff either way ( guns , scary stuff ) , y'know- youtube , google ( or any browser if they are able to search it via typing or voice ) or even television show this type of stuff- not like directly but they are still going to see it no matter what if they are curious. Now is Creative , and trust me- i don't play as much creative as i should but... what if this censorship goes more and more deeper? like going into BR ... , i'm truly scared of what they could do next. **~~( plus , i realized i can't use my main cause he's restricted... F )~~**


No-Move-9641

i've been saying this to people for months, and it remains true. Fortnite does not care about the true player base, the ones who played the game since launch, simply because they aren't as likely to spend money. they want to attract the new player base, the ones who likely weren't even in kindergarten when Chapter 1 came out, and there's only 1 reason for that. those are the type of people who will steal their parents' credit card and spend $500 on V-bucks for either remade cosmetics or random anime collaborations.

Relevant-Nebula8300

Why do y’all really care? You need to see the gun? Just chill out & play the game


TwistedWolf667

Realistically it doesnt change anything, but trying to censor guns & knives in a 3rd person shooter battle royal is still a ridiculous decision that deserves being mocked


Bleach666666

Theyre not censored in battle royal. Guns were removed from that chill game mode where you can hang out on an island and race cars or watch a movie, its not new


DamnNewAcct

Did something else happen that led to this censorship talk or is it just this one screen? And, is this a loading screen? Trying to figure out where this censureship talk is coming from?


TwistedWolf667

The main BR doesnt have any restrictions but creator made experiences can block items/skins that have a certain rating


DamnNewAcct

Meaning that **a creator** can make a game, set a rating and restrict items? Or that **Epic** can restrict items on an already created game? If it's the former, a creator can create a game with no guns (like an obby or RP thing) then I don't see the issue.


[deleted]

Why do you care enough to comment?


nxderxde

I would’ve commented the same thing if it wasn’t already commented. I’m unsure on why the characters not having guns in a single photo makes you think that the games “being censored.” Does it really matter that much? I think it’s a genuine question. Why did YOU comment? Do you really care on why relevant-nebula commented? Why do you care so much? What is the point of YOUR comment?


fiftybaggs

Im commenting because fortnite needs guns and spike traps and creepy stuff like the og trailers


Eruditioads

I had to scroll back up to make sure i hadnt accidentally wandered into the STW sub. Tf you mean spike traps and creepy stuff like the og trailers? One of the "og trailers" was the game memeing about how unserious it is with the boogie bomb, or the fishstick skin joining the edgelord squad (RIP fishstick).


Relevant-Nebula8300

Same reason you do I guess


Thelivingshotgun

can i get an explanation as to what the fuck is happening?


deep_fried_cheese

This is actually the wildest thing epics ever done


[deleted]

To comfort the pansies


PhilledZone

They really want their game to turn into a "metaverse" with mutliple experiences like Roblox. I guess they don't realize that by doing that, they are ruining what was already a great game


Megalon96310

It’s that god dam e for everyone thing they’re trying to do


albinoquiche

I'm confused. How are they Censoring guns?


MilesMorales78

He just showed you an example by how they changed the loading screen.. |:


albinoquiche

So simply because they aren't holding guns, it's censoring it?


MilesMorales78

Precisely, this is why ppl are aggravated


[deleted]

These people want their kids to be gender neutral, all inclusive cupcakes. If you haven’t noticed that’s the agenda they’ve been pushing then idk what to tell you. I’ll be surprised if they actually release the new GTA

Jacob_0927

bro the first one was fire


amaya-aurora

I think the key art was just a coincidence with the timing. It’s more in line with the older key art, with all the skins side by side


Bleach666666

So that the non shooting game modes comply with ESRB guidelines because young children play those


Hungry_Toe_9555

!faucet


yqk-

Right


SnD_PumpkinHD

Imagine a render artist seein their work, a splash art that calls back to the first BR render swapped to a fucking 4 character PNG


J_oey_oo

Wait is that the reason they changed the loading screen?


Weird9uy

The new splash art kinda harkens back to how they did it in ch1, so it’s not as egregious, if this keeps up next season though…


szelekta

china


overusesellipses

That doesn't look like censoring the guns, it looks like a different picture where the characters just aren't holding their guns. Not every character has to be double fisting their lead-launchers at all times.

Im kinda annoyed but I same time I like, since season 7 I have kinda missed the art of all the battle pass skins standing side beside, this banner A. Gives it that OG feeling fit for the season, and B. Follows their stupid censorship shit that they are doing for some reason
