Well, Fortnite jumped the shark.

It really is shocking that they could somehow get more mainstream

There's sharks jumping sharks inside sharks ever since Fortnite dropped their actual original concept to chase the battle royale bandwagon.

The saddest thing is that it works

This will make any corpo stooge wet themselves with joy, however, as a consumer I'm repulsed by the idea! I don't want an entertainment universe, just awesome games to play; Preferably games that's single player, no microtransactions, and zero live service elements (that is becoming a gradual impossibility). As a consumer, I now know the companies to avoid buying products from.
