Fortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has explained why players have started quitting the game and what Epic Games needs to do to revitalize the battle royale title.
Even though Fortnite Chapter 2 came with a tonne of hype around it after the black hole event of season ten, players have been airing their frustrations with Epic Games after a lack of changes since the first major update.
Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins has already talked about why the developers need to pull out something special with their next update but Tfue, who is now the biggest name streaming on Twitch, has joined his calls for a few major changes in the next update.
During a recent stream, the Fortnite star had become frustrated by how he was being killed by controller players in the Cash Cup event – noting that they had the able to track his movement despite being unable to see him.
So, instead of carrying on, Tenney dropped the game and headed elsewhere, airing his thoughts on why the game has become “boring” without a lack of updates.
“I’m going to play Tarkov obviously dude, I’m not playing f**king Fortnite, it is so boring,” he said upon exiting the game and loading up Tarkov. “Even when I was on zero ping it was f**king boring dude. They need to come out with a new season ASAP bro. Like, no one wants to play the same s**t over and over again. It’s so f**king boring dude.”

As he claimed that “no one wants to play” the seemingly repetitive battle royale, Tfue noted that some of his friends have been quitting altogether, heading for pastures new.
“Every player on mouse and keyboard is just quitting, that is the problem. Legit, like no one plays mouse and keyboard on Fortnite anymore unless you’re like a streamer or sweat dude,” he added. “Like, all my IRL friends that play with PC mouse and keyboard – and I’m like ‘do you still play?’ – and they’re like nope, don’t play. My friends on controller are like ‘yeah, I still play.’”
While some annoyed players can overdo their complaints, Tfue’s concerns are pretty valid and shared throughout the community – not just with streamers and competitive players.
Whether or not Epic’s shakeup with Chapter 2, Season 2 will meet his expectations remains to be seen, but we won’t have to wait much longer, as season one comes to a close on February 20.
