On 12th October, CourageJD posted a video explaining all the reasons why he simply couldn’t continue playing Fortnite. For starters, he admitted that he wanted to ‘love the game’, but simply couldn’t. The game has become too competitive and ‘sweaty’ after the Fortnite World Cup, and is no longer fun for him to play.

Further, he explained that he loved the game earlier because he could simply relax and enjoy long gaming sessions. However, that is no longer true. CuurageJD also talked about the introduction of skill-based matchmaking, which in itself has played a huge part in driving him, and other Fortnite content creators, away.

The streamer admitted that he was no longer able to compete with other top-tier players. He said that while the overall skill levels have increased, most players that he meets due to the matchmaking system, are not conducive to good video content. As you can see below, CourageJD simply does not love the game anymore.
