      A majority appears to be:

      62.7% of the Fortnite players are from the age group of 18 to 24.

      It’s not just a kids game, has been around for long enough (seven years) and has enough staying power that even many of those who started playing it as kids are now adults. Personally, I never cared about it, but that’s because I stopped playing multiplayer shooters a long time ago, not because I feel like I’m too old for this.

    lmao I’m sorry I am 100% for gun regulation but this some big boomer energy and NOT the way to appeal to youth. If the intent is to say “Hey, we have no idea about what you are into but we are pretty sure we know better than you. Go to your room! No video games for a week!” then it’s probably working.

      It’s just absolutely bonkers that they’re using a gun game to campaign while disallowing gun use. You may as well partner with the NFL and then ban tackling, or host a Monopoly game while banning money.
