@@legion4te they most def do 😭😭 If rarites did exist still, the shoes would be green or blue rarity. Which would make them 200 or 300 vbucks. At most they would be 500 vbucks, that's the equivalent of a legendary or icon emote. Paying 1000 vbucks for one pair of shoes is wild despite being name brand. If epic games wanted people to buy kicks en masse for 1000 or more vbucks, it should be a bundle of 3-5 shoes. I'd rather buy the battle pass (8 skins usually, multiple emotes, contrails, gliders, music packs, pickaxes and loading screens) for the new 1000 vbuck price point compared to 1 single pair of virtual shoes that you barely see. And I don't want to hear the argument of you can use the shoes with every skin. Everything else in the game can do that too. Kicks are a scam rn until they come up with a better price point. At most it should be no higher than 700 vbucks for a name brand kick that should come with an edit style or two, but 500 vbucks should be the norm. If icon emotes, that are a representation of an artist's song and sometimes movements (usually just a popular dance using that song), can be 500 vbucks and still be good, then kicks should be the same.
@@FlrxAlfredosauce i disagree personally. Even with rarities if they wanted to make things more expensive they would had just made them epic or legendary. If they are that expensive even without rarities they would had still been expensive
@OND30 That's true but in the past, when we still had rarities, a legendary skin would cost about 1,200 vbucks, legendary pickaxe was 800, and emote was 500. That was the norm until they removed the rarity system. Now they price hike a lot of things by tossing in a music pack or something else. It seems like nowadays a lot of skins are 1000+ vbucks for no apparent reason. You have to go out of your way to search the item shop for old releases to find items with their original rarity pricing
Given the pricing being so close to a pickaxe for the shoes that aren't Nikes, I'm not blaming epic here, they're probably not the one's that set that price. If another pair by epic hit that price, then It's them, but otherwise, evidence points towards party number 2.
If they want money so bad they should just bring back Fishnet Phaedra & Helsie, AND GIMME GWEN. It'll be the EASIEST 100$ Mil they'll ever make. There are people that are playing now that didn't play at the time (ME LOL) and the people that were playing at the time probably couldn't afford to get them, but those people should be adults or an age close enough to get v-bucks for them (without stealing their paren'ts credit cards). Fuck what the haters would say about those skins staying legacy/locked/etc.
How so you don't have to buy it everything is free if you play on console you don't even need Xbox live or PlayStation plus to play crying to cry wow 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@@key2shawn154 I’m pretty sure they work on every version of Midas. I have shadow and midsummer Midas and they both work. I’m guessing they’ll slowly add more and more skins to work with all pair of kicks eventually.
The reason they keep adding new cosmetics and passes and subscription things and all that, is because the player count is still dropping so much despite all the OG nostalgia bait. They’re dying for money since Fortnite is no longer the #1 game in the world. So they’re doing all this, to milk as much money out of their remaining players as possible. And to be honest, I think that if the player count keeps dropping, I can imagine Epic selling Fortnite to Disney, since they already own so much stock in Epic. And Disney doesn’t have like a signature video game currently, so I can imagine they’re eyeballing Fortnite, hungry and waiting to buy it.
"might include the OG pass" It's confirmed, the blog post says 'When any new passes arrive in Fortnite, they will also be added to your Fortnite Crew subscription, including the new Fortnite OG Pass!'
@@legion4te Absolutely hope it'll include the event style passes. The words used makes it sound like it "When any new passes arrive in Fortnite", so unless they're not gonna consider them as passes... even though Music and Lego both using the structure they'd built... we'll find out when we hit Feb. Since it's usually the last month in a season these get put out. Notably: New Lego in Dec, New Music in Jan, nothing slated for Feb yet, with new Ch6S2 likely being March, the event one would slot right on in if it's Feb for 1 pass per month being given in Crew.
People don't realize that the consumers have the power for the prices of kicks. If you don't buy, they don't get there money. This will in turn force them to lower the prices.
The battle passes should have always been 1000 Vbucks, the only reason they made it 950 is because it made it so you had to buy more vbucks than you wanted to. So it was a scam tactic.
I mean, let’s be honest have it being at 950 V bucks was better than that because to be completely honest you get 1000 back if you know how to actually grind through the battle pass so it isn’t a complete scam if you know what you’re doing
They're making it cheaper for a lot of people though. The Crew was always much more worth it than buying the passes. Now it will include 3 EXTRA Passes, and you have to remember the Music Pass and the LEGO Pass are 1800 V-Bucks EACH. And you'll still get a bonus 1000 V-Bucks every month, plus the monthly skin. I used to be on the Crew at every month, now I'll have to spend 3600 less V-Bucks for the 2 other passes, plus the 4th Pass.
A minor correction to the Crew thing: unsubbing halts progress on PREMIUM rewards, meaning you’ll still level up and get the free rewards, just not the premium stuff. Personally, I’m gonna level up and wait till the end of the season, sub to crew, get all the premium stuff, and then grind out xp the season after
You could also just finish all the passes then buy crew then cancel it, like in the last week of a season, claim all the rewards then you could try to grind out the next season with the 3ish weeks you have left on the crew
I thought the same thing but, If you want to use something from the pass, you gotta buy it. Like you said tho, if you unlock a bunch of stuff within 3-4 weeks, it's not really an issue. I expect there to be some grinding tho, the next season will likely be harder to level up, I doubt they want most people hitting tier 100 in less than a week
By the way, you can still earn rewards if you cancel your crew subscription. You are just locked out of the premuim rewards, you can still get the free rewards.
The crew has always been a good choice for me for the simple fact of getting the bp and vbucks so the added passes are great. I’m just a little worried/bummed because I usually “cancel” it so I don’t forget and get the auto renew charge to my acc. So I could go abt my life without having a surprise purchase while still having the bp after like a month cause I can’t always grind fort
I imagine the people that strictly only play for battle passes and just use what they get each season to get the next is gonna suck for the OG pass since I highly doubt the OG pass will include vbucks to buy the next
I can only agree with shoes. 50 v bucks extra is not bad at all, if anything it just gives you a cleaner amount of v bucks. The crew thing is objectively a good change from a financial standpoint
I went crazy over Kit back in Chapter 2 Season 3. Katty Corner was amongst my most visited POI's. I was obsessed with him. He was my most used skin all the way up to Chapter 2 Season 8. I even remember drawing him and using wallpapers of him on my old phone.
7:35 bro was just yapping 😭, the price its self doesnt really change that much (it's still $10) only now you wont have an uneven balance of 50 vbucks after buying it. Hell it shouldve been 1000 from the jump, cleaner number that makes perfect sense!
I always kinda wondered why is costs 950 instead of just being 1000, 50 vbucks is like a 30 cent difference, so its not that much, also at 7:35 thats literally a tactic used by most companies, like making the price $59.99 instead of just making it $60 so it looks like a better deal, its not cheaper, it just looks like it is
The crew pass doesn’t wont stop you from progressing when you cancel it it’ll just stop you from earning premium rewards you can still level up the pass just not claim the paid rewards. And plus it’s the perfect downside because would you rather pay more just for Crew?
So we should wait til we’ve leveled up enough to grab all the rewards, then buy Fortnite crew? Cuz that’s what it seems like we can do. I’ll just play and Lv up til I can buy the last tiers and all the passes like the music pass, then I’ll get Fortnite crew so I can have all the rewards.
another thing that I see no one talking about is how we can't even customize the kicks, no recolors, nothing, and its obviously to sell more kicks, cuz why buy the others if you can get the ones in the battle pass and just recolor them to match the ones in the shop or whatever, its just such a let down to me that I can't color match my shoes to literally any other skins that not red...
To be honest, I don't really care about fortnite crew having a time limit on what items you can claim Because you can buy it in between the time of where season ends and a season starts You just don't get the quest items at the beginning of the Season you just get them at the end
The crew pack is severely decreased in price if you think about it, stay subscribed and you will be stacked, you physically cannot complain unless you a brokie
"You're NOT getting away from those money hungry allegations" They're treating the subscription service like a subscription service now (instead of a cheap way to get 1000 vbucks, a battlepass and a skin) and because they knew people would complain, added a lot more passes into it in return. Great deal and if you don't want crew, don't buy it. that simple Also oh no the price of the battlepass went up from 10 dollars to.... 10 dollars. Literally don't get why people are complaining. Yes if they keep making inflation happen, we should 100% retaliate (like we did with Espresso) but this isn't a difference at all in money terms
The main problem is people like me don't have the money for recurring payments like that. Some people have to cancel cause they can't afford crew for life reasons, but as a result lose access to the passes they worked on. It's not a bad decision but I do wish that, if they wanted to limit people exploiting it, they simply limited the number of passes obtainable before you renew your subscription. However that's just me.
Fam there a better things to spend 12 bucks a .month on so 144 bucks a year, could affect those who need food, pay bills, supporting themselves or others, etc...
If they exclude the regular BP from that rule its 100% OK! Fortnite Crew was worth it as a one time purchase per season you get to own the BP not rent it! This changes that. There is an Asterix for "new subscribers" IDK exactly how it works!
if they ever up crew price, i hope they give a "legacy crew badge/discount" where if youve been paying for it, you either get extra benifits for the up hike or such
Hi! first time I’ve seen you on my feed. I like what you got going on. I could tell you’ve put a lot into this video. I did want to comment on a couple things you said regarding the battle pass. You are right that increasing the BP price by 50 vbucks does impact how much you get back, but I recognize that no shop item is 350 or 1250 vbucks so I personally like that I won’t have an awkward 50 vbucks in my locker anymore. But yes you are correct that it will be less of a return going forward. While we don’t know how progression of passes will look come chapter 6, now that progression will be consistent across the various game modes. Historically there are free rewards in the pass that anyone can unlock by leveling up. So I imagine that if your crew subscription expires at level 50 for instance, you’ll lose the premium path but can still progress and unlock the few free rewards that are scattered in the free pass. Once again just wanted to give a differing opinion. Best of luck!
one thing that's understated about the situation regarding crew (from what ive seen anyway) is the XP merging. you can grind *EVERY* BP at once starting next season, very cool! It should alleviate the issues with the new crew changes in regards to battlepass ownership and expiration. But, I still have majority negative opinions on that change specifically.
I’m so disappointed at how excited all the normies are with shoes being added. The shoes are literally just a free marketing gimmick for Nike, except that they make money off the sales directly, so it’s not even free marketing it’s like the easiest money ever for Nike. And people buying the shoes just shows Epic that people are willing to waste their money on them. And they kind of ruin the entire point of having different skins. If you have characters that you can change different parts of, then why even have different skins at all? Just give players 2 skins (a male and female skin) for free and make them pay for every piece of cosmetic clothing, like PubG. That would suck but if they did that from the start it wouldn’t be so bad. That’s what sucks about this new kickstarter thing is that it just confirms that Epic is copying every other game and taking parts of them to put in battle Royale.
The blue mushroom on the coast, where the Juice World waves are coming in, gives the impression that some elements of Chapter 3 will be present in Chapter 6.
I’m honestly more excited for the start of chapter 6 which is just a few days away. Chapter 2 Remix was sorta fun, but I don’t give much of a damn about the artists… Maybe except for Juice because one’s gotta pay respect to those who left this world, even if they weren’t relevant in my life
I think trick with new fortnite crew is just buy it at the end of the season so you get all the rewards without having to pay for whole length of season or grinding it all in a month.
Regarding DC skins, besides the fact the new shoes don't work on any of them.... right now if you log into Rocket League, you can purchase the Batman 85th anniversary Batmobile skins bundle. This includes 1989 Batmobile, The Tumbler from the Nolan Batman trilogy, 2016 Justice League movie Batmobile, and The Batman muscle car from the movie. Of course....just like Sweet Tooth's Ice Cream truck from Sony's Twisted Metal game series that was available on Rocket League right around the same time Wasted season was going on in Fortnite (which was clearly inspired by Twisted Metal and Mad Max), these aren't compatible with Fortnite. So what it already tells us is that Epic STILL is working with Warner Bros, they just aren't working directly with Fortnite at the moment. It's basically a case by case basis with their games. Like it would have made total sense to have Warner Bros include a Mad Max Furiosa collab at the start of the Wasted season since it literally dropped the same day the movie came out but nope Same with Sony. When Myths and Mortals season dropped, it would have made sense to bring back Kratos but they didn't. For Warner Bros, it would have also made sense to bring back Wonder Woman, Black Adam and possibly another Aquaman or introduce Shazam. But nope. And yet Sony clearly works with Epic still since we got a Sony PlayStation Plus Collab skin and they and Marvel brought back Eddie Brock and introduced two new symbiote skins for the release of the new Venom movie. So again, it seems like it's on a case by case basis here but overall not really doesn't make sense because how well do you think a Batmobile skins would a sold in Fortnite? Probably a hell of a lot better than the car skins they got in now. But also, it seems Rocket League has more reasonable pricing for that bundle cause going off on how much Fortnite charges for just one car at times especially if it's licensed l, I can only imagine the ridiculous pricing Fortnite would set for a Batmobile bundle that has all four Batmobile skins like Rocket League has.
If they're going to force people to stay subscribed to crew, then all bps cosmetics should be available from the start, super styles and weekly quest cosmetics take a while to be added.
not to mention now that the battle passes are now returning to the shop in a later date probably like in two years after the current battle pass isn't active.
@@davidhuapaya4450 i was never rich especially while playing this game, but i genuinely don't know how people can sit down and spend like a hundred dollars on 1 game every 2 months basically. And some people spend way more
@@Therapist_Demoman it's not that i wouldn't want those passes it's that I can't get them due to moaney issues, if i were to buy everything I'd want I'd be broke before i realized
naw i think theres still a way since it ends when your subscription is done complete the battle pass and all the other passes because it counts with exp then buy the crew when your done
Small clarification: as I understand it, should you cancel your crew, after your crew period lapses it’s not that you’re locked at the level you were at, you’re only locked out of claiming premium rewards. You still level as normal and can claim the free rewards.
It's not inflation, it's greed! Greed is the bane of most games with micro-transactions and Fortnite is no exception. There's no reason that any skin or item (outside of Bundles) to cost more 4.99 US IMO. I fully believe that having 100 players buy and cosmetic digital item @ 4.99 from me is more valuable to my bottom line than having 30 players buy it from me at 15.00. I don't see why anyone that sustains themselves with micro-transactions could not make the same amount or better by pricing there digital items for 5 dollars or less and then make their money in volume sales? It's not like these companies are paying to store or manufacture their virtual items. Fortnite does on occasion offer a 4.99 starter pack, so I guess that's something. The latest changes to Fortnite Crew is really making me think about signing up. I don't mind spending some cash as long as I feel that I'm getting value for doing so. These new virtual sneakers are a joke @ 1000 v-bucks!
13:16 why is nobody correlating the Void leaks with the Nothing??? The last reality, and the nothing in particular, were both shown in Hope’s magic graffiti.
1000 vbucks for the BP and we are still forced to grind over level 100 to get our 1500 vbucks. Fortnite Crew just increased in price dramatically! If a season last 4 months, it is $48 for the Passes. Good luck with that. I'm gonna quit this game soon and sell my account. Epic becoming the the new EA
@@yaemikos No, it's not: Now, the Crew battle pass lasts for the entire season, no matter how long it lasts. The skin and vbucks are monthly. From next season on, you'll pay for the month. If the season lasts 2 months, you'll need to pay for two months to get access to the battle passes. If it lasts 3 months, here go your $36. The passes will only be available with a valid subscription. You unsubscribe, you're assed off.
@galenmarek6949 Just buy crew at the end of the season or when you max out the pass. You would just pay for 1 month and earn everything from the pass. Doesn't change the fact that this is a dumb change.
Og pass. Fortnite tweeted out and said it would include og passes that meaning there will be more than one. And epic are releasing the old season which means to me the respective battle pass aswell
honestly just use the 1k vbucks u get from crew pass and ACTUALLY buy the pass that Ur gonna grind the most so that u still get benefits if u dont wanna pay every month
"The removal of rararities won't affect prices" my ass
They don't affect prices lol. Rarity has nothing to do with kicks or anything else here at all.
@@legion4te they most def do 😭😭
If rarites did exist still, the shoes would be green or blue rarity. Which would make them 200 or 300 vbucks. At most they would be 500 vbucks, that's the equivalent of a legendary or icon emote. Paying 1000 vbucks for one pair of shoes is wild despite being name brand. If epic games wanted people to buy kicks en masse for 1000 or more vbucks, it should be a bundle of 3-5 shoes.

6:00 Are you sure about that?
I imagine the people that strictly only play for battle passes and just use what they get each season to get the next is gonna suck for the OG pass since I highly doubt the OG pass will include vbucks to buy the next
I can only agree with shoes.
50 v bucks extra is not bad at all, if anything it just gives you a cleaner amount of v bucks.
The crew thing is objectively a good change from a financial standpoint
We all knew this when they are charging for styles
Personally I'm not a fan of the shoes but 1000 vbucks for shoes is wild
Shark shoes were the only one worth it. 600 isn’t bad for chompers. The other ones? Definitely not
No it's not "Rick and Morty" returns just "Morty" returns😂
The shoes look so goofy with so many skins. They are big and you look like a duck waddling around in them
Now they need to add hats, unusual effects and a trading system.
You're absolutely right, the situation has changed alot
Look up Fortnite inflation
I went crazy over Kit back in Chapter 2 Season 3.
Katty Corner was amongst my most visited POI's. I was obsessed with him. He was my most used skin all the way up to Chapter 2 Season 8.
I even remember drawing him and using wallpapers of him on my old phone.
when shoes cost more than emotes do
7:35 bro was just yapping 😭, the price its self doesnt really change that much (it's still $10) only now you wont have an uneven balance of 50 vbucks after buying it. Hell it shouldve been 1000 from the jump, cleaner number that makes perfect sense!
Wish fortnite would just make their own stuff again im so fed up of collabs its so oversaturated and i also wish theyd give us back our skin rarities
they still do, people like you just overlook them because they’re not like how it was back in 2018😂😂
I understand my mom when she once said that buying online is useless
I always kinda wondered why is costs 950 instead of just being 1000, 50 vbucks is like a 30 cent difference, so its not that much, also at 7:35 thats literally a tactic used by most companies, like making the price $59.99 instead of just making it $60 so it looks like a better deal, its not cheaper, it just looks like it is
The crew pass doesn’t wont stop you from progressing when you cancel it it’ll just stop you from earning premium rewards you can still level up the pass just not claim the paid rewards. And plus it’s the perfect downside because would you rather pay more just for Crew?
8:51 you can keep progressing, but the premium part of the pass is locked. You can still get free awards and play like you never had the pass.
So we should wait til we’ve leveled up enough to grab all the rewards, then buy Fortnite crew? Cuz that’s what it seems like we can do. I’ll just play and Lv up til I can buy the last tiers and all the passes like the music pass, then I’ll get Fortnite crew so I can have all the rewards.
another thing that I see no one talking about is how we can't even customize the kicks, no recolors, nothing, and its obviously to sell more kicks, cuz why buy the others if you can get the ones in the battle pass and just recolor them to match the ones in the shop or whatever, its just such a let down to me that I can't color match my shoes to literally any other skins that not red...
honestly imo that cel shaded version of juice wrld looks better than the shop verson
To be honest, I don't really care about fortnite crew having a time limit on what items you can claim Because you can buy it in between the time of where season ends and a season starts You just don't get the quest items at the beginning of the Season you just get them at the end
The crew pack is severely decreased in price if you think about it, stay subscribed and you will be stacked, you physically cannot complain unless you a brokie
"You're NOT getting away from those money hungry allegations"
They're treating the subscription service like a subscription service now (instead of a cheap way to get 1000 vbucks, a battlepass and a skin) and because they knew people would complain, added a lot more passes into it in return. Great deal and if you don't want crew, don't buy it. that simple
Also oh no the price of the battlepass went up from 10 dollars to.... 10 dollars. Literally don't get why people are complaining.
Yes if they keep making inflation happen, we should 100% retaliate (like we did with Espresso) but this isn't a difference at all in money terms
The main problem is people like me don't have the money for recurring payments like that. Some people have to cancel cause they can't afford crew for life reasons, but as a result lose access to the passes they worked on. It's not a bad decision but I do wish that, if they wanted to limit people exploiting it, they simply limited the number of passes obtainable before you renew your subscription. However that's just me.
@@TheDogeOfSarcasmits 11$ a month????
Fam there a better things to spend 12 bucks a .month on so 144 bucks a year, could affect those who need food, pay bills, supporting themselves or others, etc...
@@no_buenoman but we have a freedom and we can do what we want
@@MegaDylan-d5p bro what
Its a beginning of there downfall
As if the prices weren't bullshit enough,yo dont even get to customize the colors for any of the shoes.
11:12 this part sounds pretty disingenuous. You get exclusive cosmetics that all progress every month you renew, and you get 1000 v bucks every month.
PLEASE do more of these you get straight to the point and we need this.
If they exclude the regular BP from that rule its 100% OK! Fortnite Crew was worth it as a one time purchase per season you get to own the BP not rent it! This changes that. There is an Asterix for "new subscribers" IDK exactly how it works!
Exclude the BP from the rule, but it's fine for any other pass, sounds good to me.
Im gonna be stuck with 50 extra vbucks forever now 😭😭
I love the fact that you'll get all the passes just by buying Crew
Fortnite crew members deserve their VB spent on past passes back
if they ever up crew price, i hope they give a "legacy crew badge/discount" where if youve been paying for it, you either get extra benifits for the up hike or such
Hi! first time I’ve seen you on my feed. I like what you got going on. I could tell you’ve put a lot into this video. I did want to comment on a couple things you said regarding the battle pass.
You are right that increasing the BP price by 50 vbucks does impact how much you get back, but I recognize that no shop item is 350 or 1250 vbucks so I personally like that I won’t have an awkward 50 vbucks in my locker anymore. But yes you are correct that it will be less of a return going forward.
While we don’t know how progression of passes will look come chapter 6, now that progression will be consistent across the various game modes. Historically there are free rewards in the pass that anyone can unlock by leveling up. So I imagine that if your crew subscription expires at level 50 for instance, you’ll lose the premium path but can still progress and unlock the few free rewards that are scattered in the free pass.
Once again just wanted to give a differing opinion.
Best of luck!
one thing that's understated about the situation regarding crew (from what ive seen anyway) is the XP merging.
you can grind *EVERY* BP at once starting next season, very cool! It should alleviate the issues with the new crew changes in regards to battlepass ownership and expiration. But, I still have majority negative opinions on that change specifically.
I’m so excited to hear your opinion on the ch2 bp
I’m so disappointed at how excited all the normies are with shoes being added. The shoes are literally just a free marketing gimmick for Nike, except that they make money off the sales directly, so it’s not even free marketing it’s like the easiest money ever for Nike. And people buying the shoes just shows Epic that people are willing to waste their money on them.
And they kind of ruin the entire point of having different skins. If you have characters that you can change different parts of, then why even have different skins at all? Just give players 2 skins (a male and female skin) for free and make them pay for every piece of cosmetic clothing, like PubG. That would suck but if they did that from the start it wouldn’t be so bad. That’s what sucks about this new kickstarter thing is that it just confirms that Epic is copying every other game and taking parts of them to put in battle Royale.
It seems Epic has forgotten that they lead the battle royale market and they don't need to copy other games
My main skin isn’t compatible, and I sure as hell ain’t changing the skin I’ve been running for 5ish years now over some dang shoes.
The blue mushroom on the coast, where the Juice World waves are coming in, gives the impression that some elements of Chapter 3 will be present in Chapter 6.
I’m honestly more excited for the start of chapter 6 which is just a few days away. Chapter 2 Remix was sorta fun, but I don’t give much of a damn about the artists… Maybe except for Juice because one’s gotta pay respect to those who left this world, even if they weren’t relevant in my life
Noooooo!!!!! My worst nightmare just came true!!!
I think trick with new fortnite crew is just buy it at the end of the season so you get all the rewards without having to pay for whole length of season or grinding it all in a month.
I think because the are combining passes this will make item shops even more expensive
Remember guys and girls 1,000 V Bucks is half a Legendary Skin so WTF we wanted key chains for Weapons and we get this shit 🤦
1000 vbucks is not as much as a legendary skin what r u on
@@FizzyI4I yeah I know I realized it later that it was 2000
Regarding DC skins, besides the fact the new shoes don't work on any of them.... right now if you log into Rocket League, you can purchase the Batman 85th anniversary Batmobile skins bundle.
This includes 1989 Batmobile, The Tumbler from the Nolan Batman trilogy, 2016 Justice League movie Batmobile, and The Batman muscle car from the movie.
Of course....just like Sweet Tooth's Ice Cream truck from Sony's Twisted Metal game series that was available on Rocket League right around the same time Wasted season was going on in Fortnite (which was clearly inspired by Twisted Metal and Mad Max), these aren't compatible with Fortnite.
So what it already tells us is that Epic STILL is working with Warner Bros, they just aren't working directly with Fortnite at the moment.
It's basically a case by case basis with their games.
Like it would have made total sense to have Warner Bros include a Mad Max Furiosa collab at the start of the Wasted season since it literally dropped the same day the movie came out but nope
Same with Sony.
When Myths and Mortals season dropped, it would have made sense to bring back Kratos but they didn't.
For Warner Bros, it would have also made sense to bring back Wonder Woman, Black Adam and possibly another Aquaman or introduce Shazam.
But nope.
And yet Sony clearly works with Epic still since we got a Sony PlayStation Plus Collab skin and they and Marvel brought back Eddie Brock and introduced two new symbiote skins for the release of the new Venom movie.
So again, it seems like it's on a case by case basis here but overall not really doesn't make sense because how well do you think a Batmobile skins would a sold in Fortnite? Probably a hell of a lot better than the car skins they got in now.
But also, it seems Rocket League has more reasonable pricing for that bundle cause going off on how much Fortnite charges for just one car at times especially if it's licensed l, I can only imagine the ridiculous pricing Fortnite would set for a Batmobile bundle that has all four Batmobile skins like Rocket League has.
Leakers are saying 2600 vbucks for juice world skin. You can't buy skin separately. Nothing is affordable in games anymore. 😔😒
If they're going to force people to stay subscribed to crew, then all bps cosmetics should be available from the start, super styles and weekly quest cosmetics take a while to be added.
not to mention now that the battle passes are now returning to the shop in a later date probably like in two years after the current battle pass isn't active.
Winning doesn't feel the same for one reason: 50% of any given lobby is really REALLY bad AI
Gutted on the short pass for this current one and not as many v bucks. I was crew ,not a while now so saving vbucks 4 battle passes only.
HAAAANK DONT SEARCH FORTNITE INFLATION!!! HAAAAANK!!!
Remember when there was only 1 battle pass for 10 dollars, now theres like 100 different things that add up to alot of money every season btw
This is why I hate the Omniverse.
@@davidhuapaya4450 i was never rich especially while playing this game, but i genuinely don't know how people can sit down and spend like a hundred dollars on 1 game every 2 months basically. And some people spend way more
I don’t want to be that guy. But don’t buy the other passes.. if you don’t play Lego. Don’t buy it.
If you don’t play festival.. don’t buy it.
@@Therapist_Demoman it's not that i wouldn't want those passes it's that I can't get them due to moaney issues, if i were to buy everything I'd want I'd be broke before i realized
naw i think theres still a way since it ends when your subscription is done complete the battle pass and all the other passes because it counts with exp then buy the crew when your done
The double pump coming back w OG 😭
Small clarification: as I understand it, should you cancel your crew, after your crew period lapses it’s not that you’re locked at the level you were at, you’re only locked out of claiming premium rewards. You still level as normal and can claim the free rewards.
I hope we get some generic kicks like some generic converse Nikes vans and you can change the colors around on the shoes for 300-500 vbucks
Every day im so glad to have 2 accounts with save the world 😭
I loaded in with 104 kick available shoes and then I log in to see my snake eyes without kicks and the number down to 94
What happens if you buy the 25 teirs while owning the crew pack, does that mean you can keep the battle pass?
To be fair with the shoes people said the same thing with backblings but now we don’t even think about them making bundles cost more
Because back blings don't affect the price
7:34 they changed it to fix pricing bugs across different currencies and stuff.
15:43 yeah but sadly I won’t be participating chapter 6 because I’ll be leaving for good now
Lol. 😂
What’s your name bby girl?🌷🌹
k mate
My favorite thing about all of this is not being able to wear the shoes on the Nike skins 🤣
It's not inflation, it's greed! Greed is the bane of most games with micro-transactions and Fortnite is no exception. There's no reason that any skin or item (outside of Bundles) to cost more 4.99 US IMO. I fully believe that having 100 players buy and cosmetic digital item @ 4.99 from me is more valuable to my bottom line than having 30 players buy it from me at 15.00. I don't see why anyone that sustains themselves with micro-transactions could not make the same amount or better by pricing there digital items for 5 dollars or less and then make their money in volume sales? It's not like these companies are paying to store or manufacture their virtual items. Fortnite does on occasion offer a 4.99 starter pack, so I guess that's something. The latest changes to Fortnite Crew is really making me think about signing up. I don't mind spending some cash as long as I feel that I'm getting value for doing so. These new virtual sneakers are a joke @ 1000 v-bucks!
13:16 why is nobody correlating the Void leaks with the Nothing??? The last reality, and the nothing in particular, were both shown in Hope’s magic graffiti.
Yay, I’m getting more for forgetting that I’m subscribed to Fortnite crew 😂😂
The good:
All passes are in Crew plus our regular bonuses at no additional cost
The bad:
Shoes
The inconsequential:
The 50 point increase of the BP.
1000 vbucks for the BP and we are still forced to grind over level 100 to get our 1500 vbucks.
Fortnite Crew just increased in price dramatically! If a season last 4 months, it is $48 for the Passes. Good luck with that.
I'm gonna quit this game soon and sell my account. Epic becoming the the new EA
fortnite crew is the same price though?
@@yaemikos No, it's not:
Now, the Crew battle pass lasts for the entire season, no matter how long it lasts. The skin and vbucks are monthly.
From next season on, you'll pay for the month. If the season lasts 2 months, you'll need to pay for two months to get access to the battle passes. If it lasts 3 months, here go your $36. The passes will only be available with a valid subscription. You unsubscribe, you're assed off.
@@galenmarek888 the fortnite crew’s *price* didn’t change and the way you get around not paying 3 months is finishing all the passes then you buy crew
@galenmarek6949 Just buy crew at the end of the season or when you max out the pass. You would just pay for 1 month and earn everything from the pass. Doesn't change the fact that this is a dumb change.
Og pass. Fortnite tweeted out and said it would include og passes that meaning there will be more than one. And epic are releasing the old season which means to me the respective battle pass aswell
They wouldn't make it so it takes away the pass you get from it
honestly just use the 1k vbucks u get from crew pass and ACTUALLY buy the pass that Ur gonna grind the most so that u still get benefits if u dont wanna pay every month
The 25 tier bundle still costs 2,8k sooo nothing changes for people who purchase this or have the founder stw
We got Fortnite economic stagnation before GTA 6
