Tfue explains why Ninja and other big streamers quit playing Fortnite Instagram: tfue \/ jessicablevinsPreviously one of Fortnite\u2019s biggest personalities and most successful competitors, Tfue eventually stopped playing Epic\u2019s battle royale entirely, and has now shed some light on why he and other creators quit the game. While Fortnite was once considered the king of battle royales, it has seen a slow but steady decline in popularity. With new challengers like Call of Duty: Warzone and Apex Legends chipping away at its player base, for many the title is no longer considered the premier BR experience. In a recent livestream on Twitch, former Fortnite streamer and pro player Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney shared his outlook on the game amid an on-going rift in its community, and explained why he believes many big-name streamers like Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins left the game for greener pastures. The conversation began when a viewer asked Tenney why their Twitter timeline was \u201cfull of kids crying about the game.\u201d While Tfue briefly touched on Epic Games banning pros from competing in wagers, he then pivoted to the exodus of content creators from the game in general. \u201cThat Ninja guy, what is he playing, League [of Legends] now? Not surprised. What about that Tfue guy, he\u2019s playing Minecraft, he\u2019s playing Warzone? Interesting. What about that big Fortnite streamer NICKMERCS? What\u2019s he playing, CoD? That\u2019s crazy,\u201d he called out to his fans sarcastically. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like all the big streamers with somewhat of a personality have ventured off to different games,\u201d he continued, referencing the fact that many content creators who focused on Fortnite in the past (like Ninja) have stopped playing the game, in some cases completely. \u201cThey realized they have a personality and can venture off and play other games and still have a streaming career,\u201d Turner explained. He then reaffirmed his view that \u201cbasically, Fortnite is just filled with a bunch of people with zero personality and the game\u2019s f**king dead.\u201d Tfue shared his perspective on the state of Fortnite as many members of the game\u2019s community, like NRG\u2019s Cody \u2018Clix\u2019 Conrod, voiced their own disappointment with the BR\u2019s current season and on-going wager controversy as the hashtag #RIPFortnite trended on Twitter. Tenney finished his explanation by saying that \u201call the amazing personality filled content creators that I met playing Fortnite are now not playing Fortnite. Why play a game that sucks?\u201d These comments come roughly 5 months after he publicly shared his own reasons for quitting the BR. While Fortnite still boasts impressive engagement numbers, it\u2019s clear that players like Tfue and Ninja made a conscious decision to move away from creating content based around Epic\u2019s title, which is never a good sign in today\u2019s world, where content creators drive player retention and interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
