Common sense says if you’re going to charge kids $20 for a skin, you should probably make sure the game actually works first!

So the Fortnite server status is down AGAIN right as my son got home from school. He’s been staring at a loading screen for 20 minutes while Epic Games posts some corporate apology on Twitter. How about instead of adding more dances and collabs, you fix the basic infrastructure? My kid doesn’t care about the new season hype; he just wants to play with his friends after homework. Call me old-fashioned, but maybe test the servers before rolling out a massive update? This is just common sense, but what do I know—I'm just the parent paying the credit card bill for all those V-Bucks.
