Apologies for quote-posting my own tweet again but I want to keep all my stuff about the creepy bot behavior in Fortnite in one thread and I can't tweet clips from Xbox as replies.https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/status/1184716077873319942?s=20 …

I wrote about how the uncanny behavior of Fortnite's bots has made the game's dreamy new island feel more to me like some kind of nightmare.https://carolynpetit.tumblr.com/post/188397017760/fortnites-bots-turn-it-into-a-horror-game-in-the …

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
