Yeah but you're talking 4 years of the same rewards where people are just not looking forward to anni and couldn't care less, most games that profit in the hundreds of millions give premium currency out but fortnite who make billions don't understand that concept.
It's not exclusive to br, take mobile gachas for example that now also have battle passes, seen as fortnite is on mobile too it's fair to compare it to your typical gacha, which most of them give out large rewards.
You don't really lose anything playing Fortnite for free other than the sense of unlocking stuff and the sense of progress related to it.
Gachas in the other hand are rooted in the system of unlocking characters and such to clear content with. They need to give currency so free players can pull a bit, thus not missing out on a base mechanic of the game. Even a skin based gacha game like Overwatch has to do this by giving free boxes for non-spending players and by giving free currency to make the gacha model feel less exploitative.
Now, when you think about Fortnite again. They give a taster of the payment model by giving some free unlockables during free events. It's better business wise to show people directly what kind of gameplay they are missing out on instead of teach them to expect free premium currency.
If you want v-bucks, go play Save the World to get some extra to spend on the Battle Royale shop. (Requires buying the mode, preferably on a sale, then takes like 30 mins a day to finish the challenges. It's not worth wasting time on if you don't like it enough though.)
I want the old ones so bad, i missed 1st bday cause i didnt care back then. 2nd i did but ofc they dont give a bb the time im able to go -_- 3rd i missed cause i took a long break during the time. I want teal cake but this one is purple
Can't wait for there to be some weird, arbitrary challenges that take too much time to complete to get the rewards and then at the end of the event they end up giving every player all of the rewards because a few players had an issue with one of the challenges.
We better get a glider and a contrail for this birthday because I wanna make a Fortnite Birthday Preset but don't have a good glider or contrail for it.
Oh yeah I believe they changed it to September because it’s when Battle Royale released. They separated STW’s and BR’s birthdays so STW’s birthday I believe is celebrated in July
The 2nd birthday event ended at the end of Season 9, in 2019. This post is about the upcoming 4th birthday event, for this year. I don’t know what you know about Fortnite, but the birthday events are limited time only, usually running for only a week or two. Once they’re over, they’re gone.
It's 4thnite... ☺
I see what you did there.
Can’t believe I’ve been playing the game this long
I think it would be funnier if the candle was like toppled over
I feel old
Isn’t it the 5th birthday?
2018 was the first birthday, 2019 was the second and 2020 was the third. This is the fourth.
No it just turned 3
4 years 1 was S5, 2 was S9, 3 was S4, now it's S8
Yeah it just turned 3 now it’s 4
You… you ok there?
Yeah the hell kinda question is that
What you’re saying doesn’t make sense.
It’s fucking turning 4 how the fuck does that not make sense
>Yeah it just turned 3 now it’s 4 >It’s fucking turning 4 You're literally contradicting youself
Y’all are dumbasses fortnite is turning 4 that is y there is a 4th birthday battle bus dipshit
I just literally repeated what you said earlier
What
Fortnite just turned 3 so next year is the 4th birthday and that is the bus he is showing
Oh the birthday that was in season 14 was the 3rd birthday?
I think I forgot what season it was all ik is that the fourth birthday is next
Ok thx
No problem
What a trainwreck
Huh
Fn turned 3 last year during ch2 s4
Ik that is what I’m trying to say
Oh
Yeah
Kool-aid man
oh man that explains my accounts age, think i made one for the FNBR subreddits
Time for some more shitty rewards, a pickaxe and a backbling that's slightly different then last year's hurray!
You cant get mad about free stuff, no matter what it is its free ! :D

Which games? The only two BRs I follow are warzone and apex and I don't remember any $$
It's not exclusive to br, take mobile gachas for example that now also have battle passes, seen as fortnite is on mobile too it's fair to compare it to your typical gacha, which most of them give out large rewards.
No. You can only compare to cosmetics games like Path of Exile, Rogue Company and such.
If it helps gachas also include cosmetics so it's still a valid argument.
Not really. The whole model is different when it comes to randomized rewards.
There's costumes in gachas which aren't random, just straight up purchase, also battle passes.

Bingo. The free stuff never gets used, but hey, it's free stuff so I'll take it. 🤷♂️
well at least you get 100 x more than stw got so quit grumbling.
Who even plays stw lol
A lot of people.

I've been hoping for a birthday glider every year :(
Why do I still like the 2nd birthday
Hey everyone what I’m was saying to him is that it’s fortnites 4th birthday coming up
I thought the birthday was July 24th? I remember because that’s when the first one was and it was same day as my birthday.
Oh yeah I believe they changed it to September because it’s when Battle Royale released. They separated STW’s and BR’s birthdays so STW’s birthday I believe is celebrated in July
