Fortnite paved the way for many of today\u2019s biggest content creators to make something much more for themselves, and this is something Lupo happily admits during his appearance on The CouRage and Nadeshot Show, but as more and more of the biggest names move away from the popular battle royale title, many simply want to know why. Now, the Fornite World Cup casting duo have revealed exactly why they\u2019ve stopped playing the game. After a funny and awkward introduction from Matthew \u2018Nadeshot\u2019 Haag, who says the two \u201crinsed it for everything it could give [you],\u201d CouRage started to explain why he stopped playing. He said: \u201cI would literally go insane if I was trying to play that game like I once did. I just mentally can no longer do two-minute build battles with skill-based matchmaking for no return. It just doesn\u2019t do it for me anymore.\u201d DrLupo agreed with Dunlop, saying it is \u201chard to play the same thing every single day for forever.\u201d He compared it to games such as Call of Duty, which at least get a new iteration each year, adding that \u201cthe audience became saturated with it as well.\u201d (Timestamp 7:40 for mobile viewers) Lupo goes on to explain that he got his first casting experience with Fortnite, and shows off some of the incredible collectibles he picked up during his time playing the game \u2013 including a Lego Rainbow Smash pickaxe that cost him $5,000. Both Lupo and Dunlop mention that they \u201cstill love the game,\u201d the latter adding he can still go on and enjoy Fortnite sometimes, but no longer in the way he could throughout 2018. They also said that they would still be interested in casting if the opportunity presented itself but, with the likes of Warzone and Valorant being so popular right now, we\u2019re not sure they\u2019ll be heading back to Fortnite any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CourageJD &#038; DrLupo explain why they stopped playing Fortnite Twitter: CouRageJDJack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop and Ben \u2018DrLupo\u2019 Lupo were once some of the biggest Fortnite streamers in the world \u2013 but now they\u2019ve revealed why they stopped playing the game.
