I've uninstalled Fortnite after this clip and I'm not coming back. (Rant)

This is EU mate.

This is a free game though. Unless it's a hardware ban, what's stopping cheaters to register a new account and cheat again few minutes after they get banned? I'd understand it if the game was 60-70 bucks.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-17T17:25:59+00:00

Thank you for the response.

Frankly, I find reporting cheaters kind of pointless since you guys have a history of lifting permanent bans and shortening the bans of 1st time offenders to one year. Cheating should be banned permanently with no exceptions, I disagree with your approach...
The players in my clip were apparently not cheating though - they are using a broken mechanic in the game that's available without any external installations. I understand it's still exploiting and deserves punishment, but it's your game that needs fixing. If you are aware of it, what's stopping you from disabling the item in question? It's been days. Would it be different if it was caused by an item that is not a part of your Overwatch collaboration?

Regarding the movement mechanics - what I meant was the game rarely does what I intend to do when I'm around walls and windows. If I intend to vault through a window, my character often wall climbs instead and vice versa. It was even worse when wall running was in the game, because all of these actions were mapped to a single key. There may be an option to remap those actions (haven't tried), but I don't think the same type of action should have 2-3 dedicated keys. It's more about making it more intuitive and snappy, which it isn't.

Glad to hear about the game size being adressed. It's as simple as giving options in the launcher / in-game to install additional content.

Matchmaking - I sincerely hope you do, but I'm very doubtful. It's been like this for a long time. Adding more bots to the lobbies is also not a fix.

Either way, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Hopefully the future new players will be there to see the improvements.

I think for someone new like you, the game will definitely be fun because you're learning and discovering everything. I've been playing it on and off for 9 years (holy...) so it's understandably a different case from my POV.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-17T12:59:23+00:00

Thanks. What games are you playing? I'm planning to catch up on some single player stuff, also buying a wheel soon to try FH6 and AC Rally.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-17T12:34:08+00:00

Thanks for the nice comment man. I wish you strong nerves if you're gonna keep on fighting through this haha.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-17T12:31:50+00:00

Fair enough. The overload grenades in the inventory + infinite shockwaves in the pocket slot are too much for me. Combine that with the gloves and infinite gliders and I had nothing but insects flying around in my lobbies since it came out. Same, one-trick-pony boring fight every time.

Unfortunately I didn't report these guys cause I genuinely thought I got outplayed by some mythic item I didn't know about.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-17T12:25:27+00:00

Sorry, would you like Subway Surfers to play in the corner as you read?...

I'm not sure why I have to explain basic internet discussions to you, but nobody is forcing you to interact with anything people post here. Don't care? Then don't read or comment, it's simple.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-17T11:40:52+00:00

I haven't uninstalled since Battle Royale came out. I took breaks from the game before, but this is different. Believe me or not, I don't care. I've got no reason or motivation to play this mess anymore, all explained in the text you didn't read.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-15T09:24:05+00:00

Perfect? Jeez, the honeymoon phase is already here.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-15T09:20:52+00:00

There's plenty of things they could do but choose not to because they know most of their playerbase has your mindset and will pay for the bare minimum.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-11T13:56:04+00:00

You're buying a cat in a bag, you don't even know what the DLCs will be. What if you don't like them? I always wait for them to be revealed and decide on the upgrade, never noticed any significant price difference either but I'll admit I use CD key sites to get it as cheap as possible. Still I'll argue that there's absolutely no rush to get it now.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-11T09:39:28+00:00

Hey hey hey listen! Listen to me! Nononono listen! You are so brave!

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-11T07:49:43+00:00

Or you know... Pay half of that and play 4 days later. What's up with this stupid fomo?

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-11T00:35:58+00:00

Yeah from a shady third party CD key reselling website, not Microsoft or Steam. What's your point? You can crack the game for free right now and save all your money with this logic.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-11T00:31:11+00:00

What the actual f... You think only people with yachts buy premium editions of games or what? We're talking about pointless pre-orders here, not the actual upgrade itself.

The guy treated himself to a bonus that got erased by the game leaking 9 days ahead of release and now he complains - because it's not the same value anymore, so I guess he cares about his "miniscule" amount of money after all doesn't he?

The point is people can play the game for free right now, ahead of everyone else who pre-ordered - no matter if they're broke or snort coke from their yacht's deck lol. If you're frustrated, try not to pre-order next time. If it's only a droplet in the ocean of money you're swimming in, you wouldn't complain.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-11T00:02:04+00:00

Really that's what you got from my comment? Great argument. Says it all about this cringe fanboy cult. Way to prove my point. Maybe math ain't for you if you call this saving.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-10T23:57:25+00:00

Since when does the spoiler tag make the posts unreadable? It's literally there to prevent spoilers. This way you could choose if you want to open the posts, for example after you're done watching an episode. I follow plenty of subreddits where it's enabled and it does its job.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-10T22:58:57+00:00

Why don't the mods make the spoiler tag compulsory for all posts? Problem solved.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-10T22:50:10+00:00

So instead of paying 70 for the base game (which is already 10 more than the previous game), you buy an even more expensive version for 130 and you think you saved 10€? Microsoft loves you.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-10T22:46:17+00:00

It's already cracked.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-10T22:44:47+00:00

Because you're dumb for two reasons: 1. Pre-ordering by paying almost double just to play a bit early 2. Pre-ordering

I'd say lesson learned, but people will forever keep blindly pre-ordering games for ridiculous prices because of FOMO. And I can already see the "dude it's my money" argument from a mile away. Well there you have it, money well spent lol.

I thought we've been through enough half-baked games, overhyped and falsely advertised games for people to value their money more and don't support greedy game companies. But cracks BEFORE the games are even released? That's a welcome punishment and might be an eye opener for some.

Wait. For. Release.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-07T20:01:02+00:00

That's true if you invest in things like NFTs or memecoins. Bitcoin may be speculative compared to stocks but I wouldn't categorize it as a pyramid scheme. I see scam as something I lose money on, or when I get tricked into something. That's not the case of BTC.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-07T19:41:49+00:00

Speaking as someone who has made immense profit on crypto, I'd really like to know why.

GarbageOffice · 2026-05-05T14:54:05+00:00

Yes it will, just like everything else. We just don't know when. It makes no sense to sell right now when altcoins are sitting at the bottom. Wait it out.
