They can avoid facing sweats who build sky-scrapers within seconds, and play with like-minded players who enjoy gunplay and other 'casual' strategies.If Epic Games had not taken this step, the ever-increasing skill gap between new and old players would have deteriorated. Thousands of players have admitted to quitting the game because it became too sweaty. Naturally, not everyone can grind in Creative for hours to become better builders.Despite contrasting opinions on his Zero Build tweet, it is safe to assume that Kurt Benkert will continue playing Fortnite for years to come.
