Ninja Gives His Thoughts on Fortnite Being Dead
By Nicholas Barth ·
Some members of the Fortnite community have started to state that they believe that the game is currently dead. This caused Ninja to address these thoughts of Fortnite being dead on his Twitch stream.
Is Fortnite dead? Tyler "Ninja" Belvins doesn't believe so, even though some individuals on Twitter believe that he is.
Ninja is looked upon as one of the most popular and influential content creators in the world of video games, especially in the massive Fortnite community. Due to his extreme influence regarding his thoughts on Fortnite, many individuals often look to see what Ninja has to say about issues surrounding the popular battle royale community.
One of the latest issues that is currently being discussed is how many players feel that Fortnite was better in its earlier days and seasons. They also state that it has become a worse game and is dead from it becoming a mainstream title and the major changes Epic Games has made to it.
During a recent stream on his Twitch channel, Ninja addressed these ideas that Fortnite is dead or has suffered a slow death and explained how he does not understand why a game becoming successful and accepted into the mainstream is a negative thing. The message Ninja had for people that believe the battle royale title from Epic Games is dead was recorded by the YouTube channel Twitch is my city.
The popular twitch streamer Ninja went on to explain that even though Fortnite may have lost a certain amount of players recently due to changes Epic Games has made or has not made, it is important to ask if the game is still gaining new players more than they are losing.
Discussing the question of is Fortnite dead with Team EnVy player and streamer King Richard, the two well know community members explained that a game being dead is a very extreme case that can only be stated when the playerbase for the game is very low and queue times are horrendously long. Ninja then pointed to the first person shooter franchise of Halo ( a title he was a former professional player in) as an example of a game he feels is dead compared to Fortnite.
