Fortnite players slam Epic going for \u201cquick cash grab\u201d after Cybertruck release Epic GamesFollowing Epic Games\u2019 reveal that Tesla\u2019s iconic Cybertruck would be heading to Fortnite, the vehicle arrived alongside the battle royale\u2019s latest update on July 23, but not everyone is happy about its inclusion. Despite being free content, a heavily upvoted, now-deleted thread on Reddit called out Epic for the vehicle\u2019s inclusion, labeling it a \u201cquick cash grab.\u201d Further, the author took specific issue with what they considered hypocrisy on the developer\u2019s part. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason why Fortnite can\u2019t bring back other skins due to \u2018controversy\u2019 when they are literally adding a brand tied to Elon Musk,\u201d they continued, believing that \u201cFortnite clearly doesn\u2019t care anymore\u201d in its pursuit of a \u201cmetaverse.\u201d Responses ranged from further speculation over how much money changed hands between Epic and Tesla to make the collaboration happen, to multiple instances of players voicing their intention of prioritizing the destruction of any Cybertruck they encountered. \u201cTo be fair it probably was the most money Epic got for the simplest design to put in the game. It\u2019s just a 3D irregular pentagon,\u201d one user said, while another added, \u201cLooking forward to making every Elontruck I see explode.\u201d Others questioned Epic\u2019s decision-making process. \u201cSeriously. I can never get the Cardi B emote because one word in there kinda sounds like p***y, but they\u2019ll give the go-ahead to an Elon Musk collab.\u201d \u201cEven the Epic employees hate that this is happening,\u201d came another. \u201cA few have spoken their mind about it already and it just lets you know who exactly made this happen,\u201d they continued. In addition to the Cybertruck, Fortnite\u2019s 30.30 update introduced new Fall Guys content and more, the details for which you can find on our dedicated patch notes page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
