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.

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.
