This is a needless anti-consumer practice View more games with this featureTime-Limited Virtual Items
Virtual items which are only purchasable for a limited time, encouraging users to spend money before the items are no longer available View more games with this featureDefault Cross-Play
This game has cross-platform play enabled by default, meaning that even in a solo queue, console gamers and PC gamers are unknowingly pitted against each other on the same servers. This being the default setting also means that if a user changes their settings to disallow cross-platform play, they may end up waiting for a match indefinitely due to there being so few other players who have also disabled cross-play View more games with this featureAdvertising

This game is free to download and play. Be aware that the highest-tier rewards in free-to-play games often cost money via an in-game store. This is fine as long as the pricing of items is clear and transparent. If high-tier rewards are only obtainable via randomised gambling mechanics such as loot boxes in which rewards can be duplicated, then a single high-tier item can cost more than the price of a premium game View more games with this featureFortnite is an online video game developed by Epic Games and released in 2017.
