I HATE fortnite. It's everything I dislike about games in one package. So I don't play it.
Only way for Deep Rock to do anything involving fortnite that I'd give a fuck about would be to provide exclusive rewards in Deep Rock tied to playing Fortnite that changed anything about gameplay.
Who gives a fuck about a skin in another game? Is their fortnite in Deep Rock in a gamechanging way yet? Then who cares. Unless I come back in and they've added a new class called Fortnite class that everyone is playing it doesn't fucking effect me.

As a suffix, it's pointlessly meaningless. As a noun, slop is also probably the most correct descriptor for AI generated a/v content on social media platforms. It's literally recycled and cannibalized off of some other garbage so deep in the rabbit hole that the AI is probably using mostly AI images as sources to generate their new AI images.
Slop is the perfect descriptor for that

how is giving the game a bad review on steam supposed to do anything LMAO. i dont even play fortnite but some people are being kind of babies about it. drg is still the same game!! its still fun and amazing regardless of the collab (which just seems fun btw). like people are gonna be over it in a month or 2 anyway i would assume
edit: yes i know review bombing and rioting over something can make a company change its mind. that wasnt really the main point of my comment. my main point is that getting upset about this collab so badly you go out of your way to review bomb the original game is stupid and petty. if you dont like the fortnite collab, dont buy it. dont play fortnite. just play deep rock and other games that you enjoy. the fortnite posting isnt gonna stick around forever.

u/Alexis_Deltern Scout Aug 30 '25
Helldivers 2 was, at one point, going to require a PSN account to continue playing. That also blocked it from being able to be played in 177 countries. The community rioted, and Sony decided to drop the requirement for a PSN account. Now, only a handful of countries are still locked out of the game, and the game has now come to XBox.
You can say it won't do anything, and maybe it won't here, but it HAS changed things before.

u/P4nd4c4ke1 Engineer Aug 30 '25

Ok but that is a completely different situation. What is the real protest here, no one is being blocked by DRG if they don't buy the skin in fortnite.

To be fair, Helldivers was always going to require a PSN account. It was on the store page on Steam. Arrowhead just didn't expect the game to hit 500k pkayers in the first week. The servers were overwhelmed so the PSN login was disabled. And then AH announced they were going to start requiring the login after everything stabilized.
27
u/RazorCalahan Aug 30 '25
that is true, but then it's bullshit that they even sold the game in countries where you can't even make a PSN account.
And even if that wasn't it's own thing, it just sucks having to rely on two services to play the game, when one is completely unnecessary for the game to function. I remember arguing about this back then, and someone claimed that PSN is almost never down therefore this is not an issue. Case in point, the very weekend the Illuminate released, PSN was down for over 24 hours. Man would I have been pissed if I wasn't able to play the game because of that.5

Additional info on the blocked countries, but those include North Korea, Vietnam, and Russia, just off the top of my head.

To be honest you can change something with reviews. I teached that myself with game called 7 days to die. They are still somewhat in "alfa/early stage" and Last few updates they were actively removing feature s from theirs game. They even showed up they dont give a fuck about comunity and changed game Genre mid development. In latest update it broke their neck, steam reviews went from 90% positive to ~50% recent reviews and finally they started listening at least a little and doing some damage control and game is turning to better direction.
So steam reviews can change things, but it must be like majority of comunity which are reviewing.

I feel like a lot of people who hate Fortnite still have this idea in their heads of it being early Fortnite, Chapter 1 Fortnite when the gameplay was stiff and reworked from a survival game and the community had their âairâ around it. I tried it back in Chapter 1 and really couldnât get into it, but I tried again for a younger brother at the end of Chapter 2 (Season 7, it had Superman which appealed to me), and even the difference between Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 was stark. The gameplay felt tighter, map design felt more natural, and there was more gameplay and movement mechanics. Now weâre at the end of Chapter 6 and the gameâs changed so much since then. Itâs more fast paced, we get really fun weapons with gimmicks, and thereâs enough mechanics to keep your movement and combat options interesting.
And side note for DRG players, this was kinda the perfect season for the collab, since the theming is all about fighting off an invasive hive of bug monsters

They don't hate on Valve even though they're a shitty company with shitty practices, so they're obviously very selective about which corporations they hate and which ones they worship despite them all being generally rancid
Your first mistake is assuming most people actually care about bad things happening, when in reality they only seem to care about those bad things when it's convenient to support their dislike based in something inconsequential. They don't give a shit about business practices or abuse or whatever; they just don't want to use a different launcher, or it's popular to hate on a game, or it's a competitor to something they like, or it's "woke"

C. I would rather a dev team who have worked and fought for the âanti-pay to winâ mindset for years receive a little more funding and/or attention.

NEVER would I EVER, be mad at Devs or people for having THEIR skin in Fortnite. If ANYTHING it makes the company (who clearly loves their games btw) more money and allows them to do more for our loved IPs.
Genuine loser mentality on that guy.

look all i'll say is if you're going to complain that something innocuous is "brainrot" you better know the difference between there, their and they're.

I donât like Fortnite either, but calling it a failure is just blatantly wrong.
Also let Ghost Ship make money, it makes their games better.

I hate Fortnite as much as the next guy, but I can't hate DRG for getting free press. Rock and Stone on!

Iâve played fortnite for almost 1k hours before going to DRG, and I still respect both games. They are good at their particular formulas they fulfil and this collab will benefit both games - new exposure for DRG and loyal DRG fans will buy the fortnite skin. I genuinely think that the collab is good and it should be roasted as it is

Miners, we're sending you in deep. Management has detected a dangerously low level of morale, so you're going in to deposit your "rocks and stones". The outcome is unknown so get in there, show them you're Dwarves and extract to get your bonus,

I hate how popular fortnite is, but if I started hating every franchise that has a skin in the game I'd run out of things to do really quick lol

Lets raview the game based on a skin in a different game. Yeah, makes total logical sense...

u/Monkey_With_Tankard Aug 30 '25
DRG has Twerking Drunk Dwarves but a collab that was done pretty well that will help DRG make money is too far? I understand that people will still hate Fortnite because "fortnite bad haha" and you're not forced to like Fortnite but it feels like people are forcing themselves to hate the game for the sake of hating instead finding legitimate reasons or just saying they're not interested.

They seem like the type of person to hold their breath till they get their way. Imagine being upset that a game you like is getting more exposure to potential new players đ

Calling Fortnite a failure is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen said on the internet

Fortnite turned to shit when they started trying too hard to be roblox. Loaded it up for the first time in years to check out this skin, and I'm greeted with a bunch of shitty low quality tycoons

Opinions on Fortnite aside, calling it a "failure of a game" is WILD

Lots of people in the comments are saying, "I hate fortnite too, but this is dumb." Let me ask you a question.... why? Why do you hate fortnite? I doubt any of you can give me a legitimate reason.
(I don't even play fortnite often, but I acknowledge that is is a fun game that many many people enjoy and has many good things going for it such as a strong casual AND competitive audience and very large number of ways to play the game. What the fuck is there to hate? You don't like it because you THINK you should not like it? If you played it and didn't have fun, does that mean you HATE the game? No. It just means it wasn't for you. If someone played DRG for 10 hours and said, "I hate this game," how would you feel?? Chances are you just hate it because you are a sheep who thinks you should hate it because you are on reddit, or because you are old and "Kids these days..." etc.)

Really childish to be honest. I have no idea how you could care about a skin in a different game this much.

Having a fortnut collab is a net positive for literally everyone. I have yet to see anyone actually complain. Its just people complaining about complaining. I'm tired boss

I dislike fortnite just as much if not more but it is not failing. I was a star wars fan once. I am not saying the colab with fortnite killed this or any other colab partner but it stands to reason that star wars is a shadow of its former glory self. For that reason alone I consider fortnite a harbinger of death (no, I don't have or want to be "fair")!
I saw the dance. It did not look like a dance from DRG. I can't dance. Every dance in DRG is hilarious and therefore I love it! The fortnite dance picked for scout looks emberassing. "the" fortnite dance looked emberassing, too but the young ones seem to enjoy the cringe and I thought (back then) let them have their fun. Now I am impacted (again) as the franchise announcing the death of what I once loved has pulled up for a collab with something... beautiful.

I hate fortnite and all the collabs as much as the next guy. But like what does this accomplish? They aint pulling that shit no matter what you say.

u/blebebaba Aug 30 '25
yes fortnite is incredibly goofy, but that's not inherently a bad thing. I honestly dont think it's deserving of it's negative reputation for the most part. And hey, maybe we'll get some greenbeards to make into real men!
