I would put my hand in the fire without fear of getting burned when saying that Epic Games has done a great job with Fortnite since the latter came out a few years ago, but the truth is that there are times when the company goes through the odd controversy that also ends up affecting the game as such. And, precisely, on this occasion something has happened that has generated a lot of controversy, especially as a result of what happened yesterday at the company. I leave you with all the details below so that you better understand what exactly I mean:
What happened to those responsible for Fortnite?
Just yesterday the news was announced that Epic Games has laid off 900 employees from its staff at the same time that The price of V-Bucks has gone up from Fortnite; something that has not gone down well with the community, which jumps (and rightly so) at any strange move by the company. The issue has much more to it than it seems, but that is the summary of the background of the new controversy in the game. In case you want to know more details about the layoffs, my friend Ramón told you everything in this same link.
What is the emote that Epic Games has removed from Fortnite?
- The new controversy in question has to do with a gesture that appeared last night in the last reset of the battle royale store ????
- it all started with a notice from the company that I had deleted one of its sections temporarily ❓
- When dataminers did a little digging, they discovered that the removed emote is none other than Share the Wealth, which shows your character throwing a bunch of bills into the air ❗
- It is clear, then, why Epic has eliminated the gesture: selling something like that at the moment when they threw 900 people into the streets, It seemed like a bad joke in this situation. ????
- I leave you with a video of the gesture below so you can see it in action
What do you and you think about all this? Do you think it was an unfortunate coincidence or that someone wanted to do infamous trolling through the game? I read you in the comments.
