PC GAMER – Fortnite is now a cop-free zone. Or at least free from their cars. The battle royale shed the vehicles last week with the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3 update, in most cases replacing them with normal cars.
Epic didn’t draw attention to or even confirm the change when Kotaku reported it last week, but according to a Wall Street Journal source their removal was a response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, as well the Black Lives Matter protests taking place across the world.
Earlier, Epic delayed the launch of the new season, which arrived on June 17, alluding to the protests. “We need to balance the Season 3 launch with time for the team to focus on themselves, their families, and their communities,” the announcement read. Presumably this brief delay also gave Epic time to remove police cars.
We don’t have to worry about police brutality anymore because fortnight took care of it. That should solve everything.
Seriously though they are cowards, just like all the others who are getting rid of cop shows and Paw Patrol cartoons. They are treating the police as if they are the KKK and nothing could be further from the truth. This is sending a terrible message to our young people that they can’t trust the police and it’s disgusting.
