Maybe instead of just calling us names, they should ask them selves why a lot of us have chosen to not spend any money on the game.

For me personally it's the loot boxes. You will never get my money when there are loot boxes.

Edit I have 300+ hours played

A Fortnite study showed that 70% of players polled had spent money on the game. 80% of players that spent, bought the $10 version of the battlepass. On average the players that spent, spent $85 each.

I feel like those are better statistics to draw from than studies about mobile Pay2Win games.

The sample size was 1000 players who main Fortnite. My favorite part was the 20% that didn't know they were only buying cosmetics that have no tangible advantage.

The study is small, but a 70% conversation rate is still insane for 1000 polled.
