Tfue finally reveals why he quit Fortnite after 2 years of \u201ccrankin 90s\u201d Epic Games \/ Tfue InstagramOne of the biggest Fortnite streamers ever, Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney, revealed why he quit the game that amassed him millions of followers and a lucrative streaming career. Since Fortnite\u2019s battle royale component was released, the 22-year-old has been one of the most consistent content creators around the title. As for skill, at one time he was hailed as the best player, which only skyrocketed his popularity on Twitch. But after years of speaking out against design decisions and the subsequent release of Warzone, Tfue left behind his main source of content \u2013 sporadically popping back into Fortnite since. Only lightly talking about his Fortnite absence in the past, Tfue opened up about why he left on the \u2018Brand Risk Podcast\u2019 and how he\u2019s expanded from the game since making the decision. \u201cTwo years of cranking 90s was just too much,\u201d Tfue said. \u201cI had to spice it up and play other things. Plus, I felt like I milked the game so much that, like, me playing it was almost digging myself into a pit.\u201d When he first started uploading YouTube videos on Fortnite, he called it one of the \u201ceasiest and most polished\u201d battle royales in the market at the time. That was largely true, as audiences from all age and skill groups eagerly hopped on to try it out. But as his popularity slowly grew on Twitch, he saw that Fortnite started to become a job instead of the title that consumed his gaming life. (Segment starts at 2:14) \u201cI got to the point where the only reason I was playing it was for viewers and for my career,\u201d he explained. \u201cI just stopped caring about that and felt like I milked Fortnite for all that was worth, considering I was blowing up at the peak of it.\u201d Tfue feels Fortnite \u201cwill die down, but (never) actually die,\u201d and he\u2019s already deep into games like Warzone to hold him over. Other bigtime streamers like DrLupo, CouRage, and Myth have also been separating from Epic Games\u2019 battle royale, something we\u2019re seeing more and more. While he made a name for himself on the Fortnite island, Tfue has been exploring greener pastures to take his streaming career to the next phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
