Is Fortnite a good game? Shane is a turncoat, becoming a fan, and will die on the hill defending it. CJ rejoins the podcast to help DeVaughn debate that it's actually poo-poo garbage and should be put directly into a landfill.

Among our discussions this week:

DeVaughn covers the latest from Apex Legends' new season: Escape!
We argue for and against the legitimacy of Fortnite as a quality game, and who it's for.
Do narrative single-player games intrinsically provide more value than F2P multiplayer games?
How does Fortnite compare with Roblox?
Don't have time to listen? Skip to the end to hear an essential TL;DL summary that Shane edited for you!
