the feeling that keeps cropping up for me is that the new fortnite island is like a stephen king coastal town in maine that looks idyllic but something is actually VERY WRONG

I feel this too, and wrote about it a bit in my piece. As a pretty bad player, I almost wish I had some way of signaling to other players that I'm real, not so they wouldn't attack me, but just so they wouldn't mistake me for a hollow husk of a person.https://twitter.com/rcmacleod/status/1184950378288373766?s=20 …

note the spooky indifference to my presence, the way the bot clearly knows i'm there but still continues trying to harvest materials like 5 feet away from me. (also bots often destroy walls right next to doors like this when most players wld use the door)https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/status/1185322940604116992?s=20 …

If I felt like these bots were doing ANYTHING that might actually help a player like me become better at the game I might understand their existence better. But they don't.

I know I've always been drawn to Fortnite for reasons that are different from most players--I loved the mechs and most hated them, stuff like that--but it really weirds me out how much other players AREN'T freaking out about the bots.

If you want to know after the fact how many human players were in your last Fortnite match, check the replay. The number in the upper left indicates real players, and goes down as the match progresses.pic.twitter.com/hJ1taBgZe3

Given what kind of game Fortnight was originally going to be, the comparison to a horror story full of scary zombies is especially ironic. And I kinda like that, even as I see why it's so bothersome.
