I think you misunderstand what Fortnite actually is. Do you really want to write off the 350 million people who play this game as idiots? There's a better explanation; there's clearly something worthwhile here. It might be nigh impossible to flesh out with conventional critical methods, but it's here. Dig deeper, look harder.

This is as much a video game as the Great Library of Alexandria was a bookshelf. Fortnite, as a unit of meaning, only contains the video game-- You need to step back a bit and focus on a higher magnitude.
