Fortnite is getting rid of building, which feels as much of a core change as Fortnite getting rid of guns. Building is less exciting than the guns, of course, and it’s perhaps not what attracts casual players, but it is the thing that makes Fortnite Fortnite. Take away the building elements and it’s just another battle royale. You might as well just play Apex Legends, since Fortnite’s only other gimmick is that you can play as two different versions of Zendaya, right? I don’t think that’s true or fair, but it’s damn exciting that one of the biggest games on the planet is changing its most basic foundations.
