Fortnite Players Are Protesting Epic By Uninstalling The Game 7 August 2019 by Lara Jackson The problem with being one of the biggest games of all time is that you can’t please everyone, and sometimes the updates and game changes you put out are going to p*ss people off more than impress them. Unfortunately that’s exactly what’s happened with Fortnite right now, where players of the Epic Games behemoth are protesting the game’s latest update for one reason: the new Brutes.

See you guys in season 11! from r/FortniteCompetitive The same’s been happening on Twitter, where the mech problem is almost reaching meme status. How to counter a mech:1. Leave game2. Uninstall fortnite3. Shockwave away4. Spam double proximity at the drivers5. Boogie bombs6.driftboards7. Send a nuke- The Small Bush (@M0DERAT0RS) August 6, 2019 One angry Fortnite player tweeted in protest of Epic’s latest update, writing: “About to just uninstall Fortnite. ADVERT ADVERT “Apparently, @FortniteGame && @EpicGames don’t understand that their followers are over these mechs. The game isn’t even fun. Spend the whole game avoiding mechs just to get demolished by one at end game.” About to just uninstall Fortnite.

[Company’s] ran by idiots.” Credit: Epic Games Epic Games has now responded to the outcry, with community manager Nathan Mooney taking to the Fortnite subreddit to explain what’s happening behind the scenes.ADVERT ADVERT “Right now, we’re evaluating Brute gameplay, as well as observing how it performs across all modes and skill levels,” he said. “We are also working to fix movement-related bugs with the Brute to address exploits.” It might be too little too late, as people are seriously upset with the Brute!
