Fortnite controversy[1]

edit

In March 2019, following the Christchurch bombing, journalists claimed that the shooter was inspired by the Epic Games video game, Fortnite.

After talking about alleged stories related to the game, they pretended to play it with console controllers while playing a Fortnite gameplay taken from YouTube.

The public did not agree with what was done and accused the program of manipulation. Later, journalists admitted that it was a performance.
