Also, it ends with something of a cliffhanger, which I’m sure will be continued in the essay’s fifth and final part. I like that.

no worries, interested to see your thoughts on this part. i've agreed strongly with some parts but i can't go with him on this Fortnite stuff

Oh, I'm 100% with him on that. Fortnite is amazing in ways people almost never even talk about--the ever-shifting specificity and aliveness of its world is what I particularly adore--and certainly quite overlooked by the mainstream gaming press, IMO.

interesting. i come at it thinking there's already *too much* Fortnite coverage, and (I'm stealing this from a much smarter friend): he takes Obra Dinn to task for "orientalism", but no mention of the real, material exploitation of Fortnite's monetisation treadmill? really?

i also do not accept the point that the gaming press or "gamers" reacted differently & more positively to Fortnite than Apex or PUBG. I don't know where that perspective comes from. huge overlap of Fortnite/Apex fans especially. he sort of just proceeds like it's self-evident

I've certainly seen members of the gaming press tweet, talk and write more excitedly and much more widely about PUBG than about Fortnite, but obviously that's just anecdotal.
