I've said this before but I really think that Christopher A. Paul's book The Toxic Meritocracy of Video Games is extremely relevant and worthwhile reading as players demand that games like Fortnite adhere to some notion of pure, skill-based balance.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BQQGSR9/

I think this game is unfair and unbalanced because I don't always win. Please fix it.

The use of "biggest creators and best players" here is also the sort of thing that's been bothering me lately. A few key folks have a ready mob to stoke without even putting forth much (or really any) effort. Just such an outsized impact for a small percentage of the players.

Also, at what point does the "content" these people are creating from the game become more important than the creators of the actual game? Such a bizarre cult of personality that's erupted that I really can't wrap my head around.

I thought these people were supposed to be all about "the creator's vision" and "not giving in to popular pressure" or something. Oh, right, no, it's that they're actually a bunch of whiny pissbabies who just want everything their own way.

I always think back to BioWare caving and changing Mass Effect 3 endings after getting death threats and having long time employees quit over it all. Great decision BioWare

Also, who cares if it's balanced? Why can't it be fun to lose?
