On this day in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. To date, it is one of the most inspirational and hard-hitting speeches in human history. To honor the man and his career, Epic Games decided to do something spectacular in-game last year. They released a LTM called March Through Time. In this Creative mode, players could explore and learn about Martin Luther King Jr. and his contributions to the civil rights movement.

Long story short, players were being disrespectful in-game. Some danced in segregated washrooms, while others trolled the game. Taking everything into consideration, not everyone is happy to have March Through Time back. randomness@randomlikess@FortniteGame This is not needed guys..21@FortniteGame This is not needed guys.. Fortnite s March Through Time LTM is back and unwanted Despite trolling and backlash from certain netizens, Epic is sticking to their commitment. They have decided to bring back the March Through Time LTM and add it to the Creative mode in Fortnite. Rather than it being time-limited, players can now visit whenever they want. Given the importance of education through gamification, this is a welcome idea. However, given the fiasco from last time around, many in the community do not want a repeat of the event. They would much rather not have this piece of history in-game, than have a few defile it. Here is what a few have to say about it.

Since visiting the experience is optional, Epic is not forcing anyone to brush up on their history. On the flipside of this sentiment, a lot of players are thankful for Epic's stance. But this leads to a very important question: "Should educational content be in-game?" Since a lot of players use the virtual world to escape reality, should real life transition into this virtual space? Education in the metaverse is important Fortnite has all kinds of players. Some come from cultures and backgrounds that are open and supportive of certain ideations, while others show their hatred outright. This has been seen in-game time and time again. Be it during Pride Month or Black History Month, certain individuals will ruin things for others. This being the case, it makes sense why Epic Games wants to try and educate as many loopers as well. Since all educational content is optional, the outcry of having it removed from Fortnite makes no sense. ?????? @justmetrevor@FortniteGame It’s a game. Don’t bring real world issues into it2@FortniteGame It’s a game. Don’t bring real world issues into it In fact, this time around, the March Through Time Creative is so low-key that those not on social media will not get to know about it. It is not highlighted in-game or showcased as an ad. It is simply available for those who want to visit and learn about Martin Luther King Jr., his life, and achievements. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen for long Epic leaves the March Through Time map open in Fortnite. Given how certain elements within the community behave, it may not be long before it is put away until August 28 next year.
