Within the Fortnite community, there has been a growing discontentment towards the game’s recent UI updates. The changes, though meant to improve the game, have sparked an outpouring of complaints from dedicated players who miss the original, unique interface.
Summary
- A great deal of the dissatisfaction stems from changes to the Fortnite font. According to Suck_My_Turnip, this update drains the game of its characteristic style, making the game appear bland.
- Subsequently, a widespread sense of displeasure extends beyond the changes to the font, with several users expressing their disillusionment with the updates in general.
- Another concern is that the unique Fortnite brand is beginning to mirror unimpressive, generic gaming websites and even other games, particularly Madden, as observed by Nws4c
Does Uniqueness Matter?
One of the key themes reflecting from the users’ responses is the importance of uniqueness in the game. Users like Suck_My_Turnip and Octane-in-my-bed stated that he loved Fortnite for its distinctive style and fun gameplay.
Why Change What’s Not Broken?
Change, while often stimulating, can also rattle a comfort zone. This has been made clear as the community questions why Epic Games decided to revamp the UI when there weren’t complaints about the original one. This sentiment is echoed by KATBOI667-0_0 who believes Epic is ruining Fortnite with these changes.
Looking To The Future
In the midst of the backlash, some users, like Money-Signature2825, express nostalgia for the old UI. But they, like others, will now have to adjust and find ways to love the game they’ve enjoyed for years again.
It’s clear the Fortnite community has strong feelings about the recent UI updates. If Epic Games learn from this, they might shape future updates that retain the game’s uniquely quirky style while still making necessary updates.
