    I mean same thing happened with almost every big video game. There was a time where the only real “competitive” games were the high scores on fkn Donkey Kong at the Slice Shack. Right now the biggest competitive scenes are like, Mario 64 and Minecraft speedruns.
    Those dumb kids will most of the time end up growing up to form the new standard, so it’s best to try and roll with the tides as best you can.
    In another 10 years we’ll have kids talking about how Lacari was always a pillar of the competitive loot box community.

I personally never played Fortnite, but I bet it's a game that I'd have fun in, yet people just see it as the popular kids game, therefore bad. Same thing with Minecraft, it was so terrible, and then I tried it and loved it. I dunno, give stuff the benefit of doubt ya know?
