      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 don't know, there's a whole section of the essay still to come. But this kind of writing isn't a checklist where every problematic element must needs be mentioned. He can also just focus on how an experience feels and why it moves him, if he so chooses.

      yeah absolutely, it just stuck out to me. sure, the case can be made that Obra Dinn is problematic, but Fortnite BR's terrifyingly efficient addiction/monetisation model is more than "problematic". it's pernicious. arguably evil. i can't agree that game critics "failed" it

      Intellectually I absolutely recognize that, and it absolutely needs to be addressed and condemned (as Dan Olson does in his great video), but as I play Fortnite daily and basically never spend money on it myself, it's not something that impacts my experience much, and I see

      little if any discussion/appreciation of the aspects of Fortnite that I think do make it remarkable, though I acknowledge the likely reality that those aspects just don't have the impact on most that they do on me, and don't cry out to them to be appreciated.
