Go online in forums and watch streamers and it's a continuous flow of bitching about lack of content in games. This reminds me of a few years back when it was in all the news about the crunch put on long haul truck drivers, what they did to keep themselves going, the accidents it caused. And we focused on the employers but never on the customers. I know I've been that guy standing in front of the meat counter, mad that I couldn't find the cut of meat or species of fish i was looking for, then I went somewhere else and bought it.
So with so much competition and so much money in the BR genre right now, Epic can be the responsible guy or it can be the guy making money, but that choice exists because of us. Fortnite players could stop buying skins, stop streaming the game over this, but they won't. In fact, if you take a glance at the Fortnite content creators on twitter and YouTube, this story is kind of a footnote to the "larger" story revolving around unhappiness over the recent Dev blog and how Epic isn't listening to their fans.
