    Oil and gas companies need the same rules that cigarettes have. Where they aren’t allowed to advertise.

    I hope this shit backfires on the streamers. Greedy scum doing the bidding of a company literally on track to destroy the future of most of their audience.

    I assumed anyone still playing Fortnite was now at asement dwelling age and wouldn’t vote on things anyway.

        yeah but like 5 years ago. So a sizeable part of the playerbase should be around 18-20 now.

          No it’s still known for being popular with kids and teens. Also 18-20 isn’t “basement dweller” age anyway.
