Ninja hits back at Fortnite haters calling it a \u201ckids game\u201d Twitch: NinjaStreaming legend Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins has defended still playing Fortnite in 2023, after viewers told him it was a \u201ckid\u2019s game\u201d. The meteoric rise of Ninja and Fortnite will go down in gaming folklore. From Halo esports to dominating Twitch alongside Drake, Ninja is still the most followed Twitch streamer by a huge margin. While Fortnite\u2019s viewership and player base has slimmed down since its peak in 2018 and 2019, it still attracts hundreds of thousands of fans on Twitch. That\u2019s especially true when creators like Ninja get back on the game. Ninja rejects viewers claiming Fortnite is for \u201ckids\u201d In a recent livestream, a viewer called Fortnite a \u201ckid\u2019s game\u201d, a comment which elicited a passionate and fiery response from the 31-year-old. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a kid\u2019s game,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a grown man playing this game. [There\u2019s] lots of them. Just because kids play it \u2013 look at Minecraft. So many old people are playing that game now. You know what\u2019s a kid\u2019s game? Hello Kitty Island.\u201d He continued: \u201cThis wasn\u2019t a kid\u2019s game three years ago. This wasn\u2019t a kid\u2019s game when Dr Disrespect was playing it and Tim was playing it and NICKMERCS was playing it and CDNtheThird was playing it\u2026 This was Fortnite, one of the greatest f**king games ever invented.\u201d Becoming increasingly humorous, Ninja started to parody children\u2019s voices and joked that other titles are more \u201cmanly\u201d. He finished: \u201cWhat, because CoD came out with an actual good game for once? I play Warzone. I play a man\u2019s game\u2026 We are playing video games. It doesn\u2019t matter. You\u2019re just f**king gaming.\u201d While it\u2019s true that Fortnite\u2019s lack of violence and colorful aesthetic make it appealing to younger players, it\u2019s also true that Epic\u2019s building battle royale continues to attract a hugely diverse audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
