Fortnite has now been cited in more than 200 divorce proceedings

[BUtterfield 8 38,356]

Specifically, said honor comes in the form of a report stating that more than 200 divorce proceedings have cited the game in their complaints. (And that’s just in the U.K., and only in 2018!)

Admittedly, this is per a press release from online divorce service Divorce Online. Still, even with a healthy dose of salt being taken, it’s an impressive number, supposedly representing something like 5 percent of all British divorces in the last year.

I was thinking of starting it cause I'm missing out on my friends playing it and i felt left alone, but let me just focus on my studies if it's that addictive.

No, unless you want to damage your brain cells.

It’s extremely overhyped and full with angry kids (heck, even angry adults).

It’s one of these “trends that need to be left in their year” kind of things.

I am burning everyone’s house on this planet if it doesn’t die by the end of this year.

This is why I'm so scared of getting into a relationship. I fear I won't be able to find a non-gamer. I can't take how much adolescent culture has filtered into adult male culture, truly scary.

Because games are fun and why should I stop them because I'm soon 30?

I don't want to be a sad and bitter 30 years old guy just because society tells me that games are for teenagers and kids

I'm sorry but that's a rubbish requirement. What's wrong with gaming? It's addiction that is to blame. Yeah people wanting to experience a form of media/storytelling/entertainment, such a travesty. 

Adolescent culture, sure, keep telling yourself that games are for children.

Why are people divorcing??? Cause of a video game? Sounds like a good excuse to leave the already sinking ship.
