Fuck Fortnite. Fuck Fortnite for shamelessly exploiting the work of smaller, often marginalised creators and making obscene profits off it, while giving nothing back. Fuck Fortnite for doing nothing but riding trends while contributing nothing of value of its own. Fuck Fortnite for the gambling psychology that drives its entire …
The second DLC character for Guilty Gear Strive has been announced: Jack-O Valentine will join the game from August 27 for Season Pass 1 holders, and will be available for individual purchase from August 30.
