My best friend got me playing it, he started playing it with his 6 year old son. But since my friend died last year I only play when his son calls me to join him. Hearing this news I will be canceling my subscription however.
When did fortnite become a subscription based system? Are you talking about the battle pass they have for a season? Or am I just behind on the times?
It is still totally free to play, but there is the battle pass and you can pay a monthly subscription to get a skin, coins, and the battle pass for free.
Pretty sure that's the opposite of "free" mate
You can get the battlepass through in-game money (950 v-bucks/season). I was gifted my first battlepass and a skin by stream mates years ago and I haven't paid a single cent to Fortnite.
However you want to phrase it mate, it is included in the subscription.
But you pay for the subscription, which includes the battle pass , a skin and some coins.
Like i pay for my shopping, which includes a block of cheese, some bread and butter. But it's totally free to eat....
I remember when there was a modding community that would make custom skins and maps for free.
