Who Or What’s Killing ‘Fortnite’?

Back in July of 2017, Epic Games released a multiplayer game that seemed unique at the time, Fortnite. The third-person shooter has players teaming up with friends as they fight off waves of zombies and gather supplies to build up fortifications in order to protect their objective. The game soon changed into what we now know as today as Fortnite: Battle Royal.
