<small>''You can get the "é" symbol by holding down "ALT" and keying in "0", "2", "3", "3" or "1", "3", "0" in that order on the number pad to the right of the keyboard. For some keyboards "CTRL-ALT-E" works too (though others may end up with the Euro symbol instead). If you are using British keyboard layout, "ALT GR-E" will get you it (but it only works with the right hand key marked ALT GR). For Mac users, hold down ⌥-E, then type an E. For iPhone, iPod touch and Android users, hold down on the letter E to get the option. Of course, if you are a native Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, or French speaker or have your keyboard set to the U.S. International layout, chances are you don't need all that mess to produce a simple accented character.''</small>

The episode continued where the aptly named '''The Boston Tea Party''' left off, at the Wheatley print shop, where Moses, James, Sarah, and Henri are stuck until the wagon can be fix.
Meanwhile, Boston is and the King's Regulars began to swarm the small state, due to the colonists dumping the tea, since this is big news, James and Henri ran back to report it.
Tropes
* [[Backstory]]: Henri's backstory, he and his parents were migrating to find a new home in the Thirteen Colonies, but disaster struck, the Plague happened on the ship. - Many died, including Mr. and Mrs. LeFebve. This left their son as an orphan and a slave to the captain.

* To some IRL Poketrainers for both this game see the Pokeball Plus as the best thing ever.
** It's better to play this game with this device, unlike the Joycons.
*** Others see this as this as Nintendo/Game Freak/Pokemon Company pulling a [[Ubisoft]] or worst, [[EA]], since the Pokeball Plus is fifty USD and that the Mew is locked between a paywall.
**** They have a point since IT's only this special Mew that can be put into LGEP and not the one from [[Pokemon Go]].
**** Worst, is that the Legendary is a one time DLC that the IRL trainer has to take special care of it.
**** As as worst, is that the PBP doesn't come with much instructions, save searching for it all over the official Nintendo tech support website. This leads some IRL Poketrainers to seeing the Pokeball Plus as an over glorified joycon that's not worth the price tag, or a paper weight.

'''Self Notes'''
Just in case this is an actual sequel and not an expansion.
'''Summary'''
{{work}}
Announced in November 1 in Blizzcon 2019, Overwatch 2 is a sequel that continues after the first game, which was released in 2016. The game will both [[Player Versus Player|PVP]] and [[Player Versus Environment|PVE]], including new features, like new maps, Heroes, HUD, a new mode called "Push" and even a major upgrade to the game's engine. The latter will have both games share the same Heroes, map pools, and even the same client. The PVE mode introduces a new system, called Talents, were Heroes can be leveling up by using special abilities. Gamers who got cosmetics from the first game can be carried over to Overwatch 2.
The story continues were all the comics and trailers of the first game left off or fills the plot holes that went unanswered.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: To those who bought the first game, Overwatch 2 is free for them.
* [[Blizzard Battle.Net]]
* [[Free to Play]]: Kinda, as long as gamers own the first Overwatch game, Overwatch 2's PVE mode is this...And it's optional.
* [[Killer App]]: Once again, if one wants to play OW2, they must use Battle.Net.
* [[No Export for You]]: Some of the updated Heroes' appearances are exclusive only to Overwatch 2.
** The talents system are only available in PVE mode.
* [[Player Versus Player]]|[[Player Versus Environment]]
* [[Sequel Episode]]|[[Sequel Escalation]]: To [[Overwatch]]
'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKXS_YA9s7E Overwatch 2: Zero Hour]'''
* [[Awesome Backpack]]: Mei's backpack.
* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]: Mainly the human cop, her Omnic partner, and the little girl speak both French and English.
* [[The Cameo]]: Lena keeps a picture of her girlfriend, Emily, in the cockpit's dashboard.
** Pictures of the Overwatch agents' families, like Torbjorn Lindholm's, are present around in the plane itself.
* {{Spoiler|[[Diagonal Cut]]}}: {{Spoiler|The hover plane was slice in half this way}}.
** {{Spoiler|Genji does this to several cars that are flung his way, including slicing the mecha Omnic's hand}}.
* [[Final Boss]]: The gigantic Omnic.
* [[Frickin Laser Beam]]
* [[Giant Robot]]
* {{Spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: Winston {{Spoiler|decided to face the . Just to give Tracer, an injured Mei-L Zhou, and some of the Parisian civilians a fighting chance to escape safely from danger.}}
* [[Car Fu|Hover Car Fu]]: Various characters, mainly Winston, uses hover cars and such as weapons, covers, and shields.
* {{Spoiler|[[Just in Time]]}}: Various characters shown up {{Spoiler|just in the nick of time to save Winston, his friends, and the Parisians, like:}}
** {{Spoiler|Brigitte Lindholm and Reinhardt.}}
** {{Spoiler|Genji Shimalda}}
** {{Spoiler|Angela Zeigler}}

* [[Never Split the Party]]: Winston tells Mei that they'll be fine as long as they don't separate.

* [[Team Shot]]: Jack Morrison keeps a photo that has the old Overwatch team.
** {{Spoiler|The cinematic ends with Winston and his [[Ragtag Band of Misfits|motley team]] posing for a team shot}}.
''YMMV''
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: The lore side of the fanbase were begging and were about to resorting to do a [[Hollywood Satanism|Satanic Ritual]] just to get some Lúcio and Zenyatta lore. Turns out that they didn't need to do that, since Blizzard gave the Brazilian freedom fighter and the Omnic monk larger roles in this game.
** The same goes with other minor characters that didn't get lore screen time in the first game.
** Other gamers are happy that Blizzard is breathing new life into Overwatch by making Overwatch 2. Even assuming that this will fix the plaguing flaws that are prevailing in the first game.
* [[DLC]]: Some gamers stated that Overwatch 2 should've been this, considering that it'll be an add on to the first game.
** Some fans and haters are now saying that now people have to pay approximately $60 just for an extra game mode and some skins.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Some of the new duds that the characters wore in the "Zero Hour" trailer and gameplay footage got popular.
* [[Fandom Rivalry]]: With the announcement, it seems as though with some fans and haters that Blizzard *gasp* copied the obscure "[[Team Fortress 2|Mann vs. Machine]]" mode, thus rekindling the Overwatch vs TF2 rivalry again.
** And also, "[[Left 4 Dead]]."
*** Or rather, cue the TF2 fans/Overwatch edgy fans/OW haters making fun of Overwatch again.
* [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks]]: Some fans are pointing out that OW2 is the first game repackage.
* [[Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game]]: Theorized and rumored. Some gamers are suspecting that the [[Fanservice|fanservice]] that Overwatch is...rather infamous for, would be tone down somehow.
** The fact that in some of the trailers and gameplay footage is proof enough for them that Blizzard is doing this, considering that we don't see guys, like Tracer or Widowmaker, that much or when we do see them, they are covered up more than usual.
*** Subverted, since in both the games and lore, characters like Widowmaker and Tracer, have important roles.
* Overwatch 2 won't need to be paid, since it's just gonna be a new engine, new visuals, maps, heroes, and etcs. AS long as one owns the first game.
** It's only the '''PVE''' part that's pay-able.
* During the "Zero Hour" trailer, some fans thought that Mei-Ling Zhou was gonna die when she was seriously injured, because the mainland Chinese Hero was adopted into a "[[La Résistance|freedom fighter]]" mascot/meme for 2019 Hong Kong protests.
** Also, some fans and haters concluded that Blizzard doesn't wanna anger China any further and assumed such.

''To add more tropes notes''
Find or make a trope that describes accessories, like amiibos, action figures with QR codes/codes, and such, which adds features to the game.

'''Notes'''
On a side note - it's rather easy to miss this, but there are in fact ''two'' anacondas in the first film, not one. {{spoiler|The first is killed by a shot to the head that blows its brains out, but many viewers assume this to be the same one encountered in the factory later on because it sank into the water prior to dying and isn't seen afterwards. The second doesn't have any facial injuries, is a different color, and is clearly bigger, presumably a female}}.
* [[Monster Vision]]
'''Main Series Page'''
''People go up river, big snake is very hungry. Guess what happens.''
—The '''NZ Listener's''' twelve-word review of '''Anaconda'''
The film series, '''Anaconda''' (aka '''Anacondas''') are a B-horror monster movie franchise, made by [[Hans Bauer]], [[Jim Cash]], and [[Jack Epps Jr.]], produced and distributed by Sony. All five films revolved around giant man-eating anacondas, an [[All-Star Cast]], people trying to "not get eaten" and achieve their goals, whether its to hunt down and kill the snakes, find cures, or catch and study them.
The last two movies are direct-to-video, but all the three sequels are all regarded as horrible.
tropes found in all the films
* [[Antagonist Title]]
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: Oh so very much, all in the name of the [[Rule of Scary]]. Among other things:
** Anacondas don't grow that damn big.
** They don't move at the speed of a cheetah in chase.
** They don't predominantly prey on humans, especially after [[Super-Persistent Predator|encountering life-threatening resistance each time]].
** They don't eat multiple preys the size of a human being one after the other. After consuming a meal like that (which can take hours), the snake will find a secure location where it will remain immobile for months to digest its food.
** [[Noisy Nature|They hiss, but they don't squeal/roar.]]
** And they certainly don't regurgitate their prey just so they can hunt again out of sheer sadism. They sometimes do this for safety purposes, such as when they're threatened by a predator and they can't afford to be lethargic by having such a big meal in their stomach.
** They're ''constrictors,'' they don't just grab their prey and swallow it. Even when they find a ''dead'' animal, they'll usually constrict it first just to be safe.
* [[Dwindling Party]]
* [[Intellectual Animal]]: The anacondas are actually designed for "[[Rule of Scary]]". Of course, they'll be smarter than the average real life ones.
* [[It Got Worse]]
* [[Jerkass]]: It turns out that there's usually one or two human villains in per films.
** They are worst than the titular aquatic reptiles.
'''Anaconda 1'''
'''Anaconda''' was a film directed by [[Luis Llosa]] and the screenplay was written by Hans Bauer, which came out during 1997, and spawn four sequels.
The first film follows, Terri Flores, and her friends to the Amazon rainforest to shoot her first [[Discovery Channel]] documentary on a mysterious tribe that lives in the inner recesses of South America. There they found and rescued Paul Serone, who was stranded in a boat during raining season. Unbeknownest, Serone has an ulterior motive. This sparked off a series of sequels, starting with "[[Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid]]." And a remake in the works.
{{tropelist|''Anaconda'' (1997) provides examples of:}}
* [[Absurdly Ineffective Barricade]]: Danny Trejo's poacher uses his hammer to build a barricade on the door to keep the out. But the snake came from below the deck, and broke through the wooden planks.
* [[All-Star Cast]]: [[Jennifer Lopez]], [[Jon Voight]], [[Ice Cube]], [[Eric Stoltz]], [[Owen Wilson]], and [[Kari Wuhrer]]. Yeesh.
* [[The Amazon]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]: To Paul Sarone, the baby anacondas are these.
* [[Better to Die Than Be Killed]]: Danny Trejo's nameless poacher.
* [[Big Bad]]: The anacondas {{Spoiler|and Paul Sarone}}.

* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Warren teaches Danny on how to drive the river boat. It came in handy later on, {{Spoiler|because Warren Westridge got constricted and eaten}}.

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Since the nameless poacher didn't want to be eaten alive, he took out his pistol and shot himself.
* [[Dwindling Party]]
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: High touchy scenes, like the poacher's pistol suicide, the camera turns away or goes to a "peaceful" scene.
* [[Hazardous Water]]
* [[Help, I'm Stuck!]]: The river boat that Trejo's character was using got stuck by the roots and weeds that got tangle up in his boat's propeller.
** Paul Serone also ended up in a similar situation, but Terri and her pals are kind enough to bring him aboard their river boat.
** {{Spoiler|Later on, Terri's river boat ended up stuck in some sandbars. So, Danny came up with a risky plan to dislodge their vehicle}}.
* [[Honey Trap]]: Terri tries one of these to get the crew out of their predicament. Works, if only as a temporary distraction.
* [[Impending Doom POV]]: Played with, as the looming creature coming after Gary Dixon and Denise Kalberg {{spoiler|turns out to be a wild boar, not the snake. He'd turn up later.}}
* [[Instant Drama, Just Add Tracheotomy]]
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: "Hold on, I think I can blow it up!"
* [[Large Ham]]: Jon Voight's Paul Serone. Oh, god, Paul Serone. Let's just say, he's the main reason to watch this movie. By far.

* [[MacGuffin]]: The Shirishamas tribe.
* {{Spoiler|[[More Deadly Than the Male]]}}: {{Spoiler|The larger anaconda is female, yet she's larger than the male that appeared in the early arcs}}.
* [[Mouth Cam]]: {{spoiler|Sarone}} eventually meets his end to one of these.
* [[Murderous Thighs]]: Sarone provides one of the rare MALE examples of this trope.
* [[The Mutiny]]: The crew eventually figures out what Sarone's up to. Unfortunately, he swiftly gets out of it via being a [[Magnificent Bastard]].
* [[Not So Different]]: Sarone gives Denise Kalberg some friendly advice on murder. {{spoiler|And then he promptly breaks her neck.}}
* [[Opening Crawl]]: It explains about the monstrous, [[Man Eater|man eating]] anaconda snakes that are found within the Amazon Basin, also that some of the tribes living there worships them.
* [[Recut|The Director's Cut]]: Hans Bauer's "Anaconda: The Writer's Cut" novel, which was published in 2014.
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: "You brought that snake... you brought the ''devil''!"
* [[River of Insanity]]: The search for the Amazonian tribe doesn't go quite as planned....
* {{Spoiler|[[There Is Another]]}}: {{Spoiler|The audience didn't know that there's actually two anacondas terrorizing the documentary crew, the viewers assumed that the same snake survived getting its brains shot out and attacked the humans in the factory. Unbeknownst, the first one was killed and the second one, doesn't have injuries and has different color markings}}.

* [[Starts with a Suicide]]
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: The highly secure wooden wall/bridge.

* {{Spoiler|[[Up to Eleven]]}}: After having managed to {{Spoiler|kill the first one, the second anaconda they encounter (at the abondoned factory) is ''even bigger'' than the already enormous first snake}}.
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Gary Dixion bites on this. {{spoiler|And gets bitten for his troubles.}}
* [[With My Hands Tied]]: The crew should have tied Sarone's feet as well. [[Phelous|His old man legs are killer.]]
* [[Your Mom]]: Said by [[Ice Cube]] to the British guy.

'''Trivia'''
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Since Ice Cube's in the film, there's two references to his music, like the line "Today is a good day" (referencing his "It Was A Good Day" hit and his character listening to "Foe Life", which he co-wrote.
* [[California Doubling]]: Some of the scenes were shot at Los Angeles.
** Averted, when the film crew did the river scenes, which are filmed on Rio Negro, which is near Manaus, Brazil.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Maid in Manhattan|Marisa Ventura]] began trying to film a documentary.

* {{Spoiler|[[Symbolic Blood]]}}: {{Spoiler|The monkey blood that Sarone pours on Terri and Danny was made with a special recipe, jelly and plum juice.}}
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: The film had trouble shooting scenes in general, since several of the actors are really afraid of snakes. Their fear disrupted the film shoots occasionally.
* Mark Haskell Smith did most of shooting the screenplay, but this went uncredited.
* While filming, the anamatronic anaconda's controls shorted out and cause the fake snake to lose control. Some of this resulted in a happy accident, since the footage was included in the final release.
'''Goofs'''
* When Danny uses a mattock on the anaconda, one can hear a metal clashing with another metal sound.
* Wild boars don't exist in the Amazon, let alone all of South America.
* Oil barrels that go overboard would float, unlike in the film which shows them sinking.
* The anaconda babies that were shot in the film are actually baby Boa Constrictors.
'''YMMV'''
* [[Just Here for Godzilla]]: Paul Sarone (Portrayed by [[Jon Voight]]) chewing up scenery with a far greater appetite than any serpent could muster.

Before the Epic Games Store got its rework, Sergey Galyonkin, who also ran Steam Spy as a hobby, also learned what developers want to get out of Epic Games' launcher/digital store.
[[Allegedly
[[Digital Distribution]]
[[DRM]]: It's a client launcher.
[[Expy]]: Of [[GOG]] mostly.
** Subverted a bit, since some games that EGS sell, like Boarderlands 3, have an extra DRM or two.
[[Game Breaking Bug|Game Breaking Bugs]]: Too many to count, like:
** Most of the launcher.
** During their first sale, one guy can't go gungho and go on a bonanza shopping spree, except for five games. His account got banned.
** The lack of features is so lacking that Gear Box has to build some of the features for BL3, like the pre-loading ability.
* [[Going Mobile]]: The digital client store will be eventually making its big debut in the mobile scene.
** Though with the same challenging the status quo.
* [[Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game|Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Store-Launcher]]: Time Sweeney states that the likes of certain games that has content, like [[Ecchi]], [[Hentai]], and the like WON'T be sold in the launcher.
* [[Idiot Programming]]: See Game Breaking Bugs:
* [[Indie Game|Indie Games]]
* [[Swiss Cheeses Security]]: There were reports by some gamers that their accounts have been hacked by some guy in Ukraine or Mongolia, now this was a problem that was persistent back when the launcher sold only first party titles.
* [[No Export for You]]: [[Up to the Eleven]], on this one.
* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney's boasts that his launcher will save PC gaming. When it made things more difficult for pc gaming, actual competition, and other launchers as a whole, like:
** Dismissing the Mac OS and Linux gaming scene (Tim compared installing a Mac and Linux as moving to Canada when US elections don't go a voter's way).
* [[Vanilla Edition]]: After comparing to other launchers/digital distribution stores (i.e. [[Uplay]], [[Steam]], [[GOG]], and the great grandma, [[Blizzard Battle.Net]]), the Epic Games Store is essentially basically bare bones.
** Though they say that they have a roadmap where they'll add the much needed features, like achievements. That way they can catch up with their older and more experience cousins.
category: microsoft windows, mac OS, other sites, website, video game culture
== Epic Games Store Memes ==
* The lack of a shopping cart.
*** Which is irony, since the rest of Epic Games' other stores, like the Unreal Engine, have shopping carts that allows multiple purchases.
** [[Fortnite|V-Bucks]], third-party companies love getting these.
** "70%/30% cut"
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Averted, those against Epic Games Store took to calling Tim Sweeney "Timmy Tencent".
** Due to Tencent owning 40% EGS stock.
== Epic Games Store YMMV ==
* [[Bad Liar]]: Some gamers see Tim Sweeney as this, due to his contradicting Tweets.
* [[Bait and Switch]]: How some games managed to leap from other digital stores to EGS.
** Some of these games did their leaping at last minute before their debut.
* [[Broken Base]]: The new launcher became like this to the larger pc gaming community, when Epic Games began doing shady methods to obtain exclusives.
** A bit subverted, since the launcher was like this long before it decided to upgrade.
* [[Critical Dissonance]]: Sites, like Polygon, Kotaku, and the mainstream gaming news sites rejoiced that the Epic Games Store will be "competing" against Steam and sticking it to gamers (Whereas gamers hate these sites for their dishonesty and them lying and outright hatred on gamers to begin with.)
** Also, most of these mainstream gaming news sites hate actual gamers and rejoice in any form of censorship, including of games that they hate.
* [[Sinister Surveillance]]: Some of the gamers are suspicious of Tencent, who is one of Epic Games' shareholder that owns 40% of the game company alone and are concern about their influence as well as potential spying. Because Tencent is connected with China's government for to be too close for comfort.
** Also, that Epic Games Store is spying on a customer's Steam friends without their consent.
*
** Even forgetting or outright ignoring that other launchers, like [[GOG]], itch.io, and others existed and were chipping away at Steam long before Epic decided to make turn their launcher/client into a storefront that sells third-party games.
** Rejoicing of the lack of forums...Until they need to go do a "[[A New Hope|Help me,
*
*** Subverted, that some console gamers hated pc gaming in general and are happy that a huge rival is getting shot, despite that these same anti-consumer practices will bite them in the butt in the future.
**** Some Fandumb console gamers have often accused PC gaming as a hotbed of pirates, therefore ANYONE that games on PC is an evil version of [[Watch Dogs|Aiden Pearce]] and are happy that some company is laying the smackdown of law.
** Accusing Steam of "Not doing anything" to make PC gaming better, despite that Valve's accomplishments: like making Proton so Mac OS and Linux won't be left out, having tools for publishers/developers to make games easier, a ton of eyes to wishlist or buy games, and such.
* [[Fan of Underdog|Fans of Underdog]]: Some game publishers and companies, like Devolver Digital and Supergiant Games, release a few of their games as timed exclusive at EGS first or strictly exclusive, since they wanna assist a newcomer digital store.
* [[Idiot Programming]]: Epic has a laundry list of examples, like:
** Having a security vulnerability that allows hackers to steal the accounts of others.
** No shopping feature, especially for those who like to buy a ton of games, buying five games or more will cause the client to go bonkers.
* [[Internet Backdraft]]
* [[It Got Worse]]: It
** It made gamers not trust indie companies' crowdfunding projects, due to the last minute switching and broken promises.
* [[Doesn't Trust Those Guys]]: Some gamers don't even trust Epic Games at all, since the company already displays tone deafness
** See the "It got worst" example with indie game companies.
* To some gamers, Epic Games just:
** In May 18, 2010, Blame piracy on low sales in the past and hypocritically stated that they will never support PC gaming or gamers that play on PC. Since in their minds those that play games on PC are pirates...No matter what.
** Ruining their games, like [[Unreal Tournament]] and Fortnite, made worst by an interview that Epic Games doesn't know what to do with them or adding updates that the community didn't ask for, rending their games unplayable/unfun, or worst outright anti-consumer.
** Crippling the Mac and Linux gaming scene, mainly because Tim Sweeney hates the niche group.
** Killing off games with high potential, like [[Paragons (video game)|Paragons]] (an [[Overwatch]] clone), because of greed and "You outlive your usefulness."
* [[Snake Oil Salesman]]: Tim Sweeney comes across as this to those being critical of the new Epic Games Store.
** Some developers and publishers are view as this, like Deep Silver
*** The Ooblets developers and publishers, who are hostile against customers to the point that they called them "Gamers<sup>TM</sup>"
* Some indie developers and publishers jumped into Epic Games Store, because:
** Steam is so clogged up with tons of video games, including asset flips, that their own games will get buried underneath.
Line 197 ⟶ 1,149:
** They made a deal already and released their game(s) first in Epic Games Store.
** It's a change of circumstances, like that wonderful game that's in the works will die without the V-Bucks and deal, the indie company also explained to customers why they're going to switch and can't keep their promises.
* [[Playful Hacker|Playful Pirates]]: Some gamers who would otherwise not pirate or quit pirating, since there's good storefronts to buy games from, began to pirate or return to the practice due to Epic Games
** Somewhat subverted, Some gamers are just pirating and waiting for the timed exclusivity to end, so they can buy it from the storefront of their choice.
*
** Dismissing the Mac OS and Linux gaming scene (Tim compared installing a Mac and Linux as moving to Canada when US elections don't go a voter's way).
*** Epic Games Store outright bought Kamu, the company that created Easy Anti-Cheat, while they are in the midst of working with [[Valve]] to make the anti-cheat compatible with Proton.
* [[Protagonist Journey to Villain]]: Some gamers see Epic Games and the EGS controversy as this. The company used to be awesome and producing memorable titles are now a shadow of its former self.
* Some gamers took issues about the Epic Games Store roadmap, for example they were told that certain features would be available sooner and fully implemented. But these features are in beta-form or not available at all.
* [[Spoiled Brat]]: To some gamers see a few of those who would defend Epic Games Store as spoiled children (and manchildren) who love Fortnite...A bit too much. It doesn't aid Epic Games in the slightest that their game has a similar babysitter status that [[Call of Duty]] use to have.
** Worst is that the Fortnite fanbase has a rather infamous reputation.
* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Some gamers root for EGS, due to hoping that their favorite game companies can get all the dough that they need to continue making games regardless of what it takes.
* Other gamers decided to wait for the timed exclusive to be release in the client of their choice.
* Some gamers outright refuses to support ANY Epic Games Store timed exclusives whether they broke their promises or whether they are pro-consumer.
* Others even went to not supporting games that uses the Unreal Engine as well, which causes other game companies to be caught in the controversial crossfires.
** Some of these went to communicate to their favorite companies and offer suggestions of which engine to use, like the Godot engine, an open source engine that can equal the UE.
* Other gamers that are boycotting Epic Games Store ONLY use the launcher to nab them free games.
* Some gamers hated Epic Games Store long before the hate became popular, due to Epic Games not fixing their store's security problems and other damaging issues. - This is before the EGS began selling third-party games.
** Some hated EGS since they killed off

== Fortnite/YMMV ==
* [[Fan Dumb]]: Some of the fans of Fortnite are quick to call other games, even other games from the Battle Royale genre, as horrible. To them Fortnite is the [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]], who can do no wrong.
** Epic Games even mocks and makes fun of these rabid fans...Even in their own game.
* [[Hate Dumb]]
** Averted, other fandom communities, like those from [[Overwatch]] and [[Team Fortress 2]], to name a few, made the "Let's kill Fortnite" meme AND with good reasons.
*** It's mainly due to some of the fans being toxic, rude, and spoiled, even outright bullying those who don't play or bully other Fortnite fans that criticize the game's flaws and short comings. Also, [[Noodle Incident|Noodle Incidents]], like some popular YTers running scams, committing egregious scandals (i.e. Jake Paul and Suicide Forest), and even injuring others, like this kid who hurt her Dad for taking her XBone in order to get her to take a break.
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: Mainly the game devs that works on [[Fortnite]] are submitted to this, by the higher ups.
** It gets worst during crunch times.
*** Also, game devs that used to work at another Epic Games game gets relocated to work on Fortnite.
* [[Parental Neglect]]: Some Fortnite fans are disappointed that Epic Games is woefully neglecting the story mode by not giving it love, like much needed updates and tweaks, and focusing ONLY on the Battle Royale part.

* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVD1v7j0HIQ Fortnite Anthem]
* The "Let's kill Fortnite" that was made by haters, who have good reasons to criticize some of the [[Fandumb|rabid fans]] and its horrible community.
** Also, the controversy involving [[Epic Games Store]], Epic Games' latest endevour, just gave them more fuel to extend this meme.
== In-Game Currency ==
Money makes the world go round, the same also applies to video games' in-universe, were [[Fictional Currency|fictional currency]] is needed to buy things, Virtual money like these has been in games during its early days and can be required through various means.
In RPG games, the in-game currency can be use to buy supplies health potions, berries, ingredients, and weapons. Gamers begin at a low level at the beginning of the game, try to work their way up by battling foes and monsters, doing side quests for the npcs, selling items, opening chest, and even [[Devil May Cry|destroying vases]] [[Bayonetta|and benches]].
Another way of getting in-game currency, without level grinding is to buy microtransactions or [[Loot Boxes|loot boxes]]. Since gamers will get in-game money by purchasing or when they open a loot box or two, since virtual coins will be one of the many contents within.
In the real world, things take into a "[[Weird Currency]]" turn when it comes to in-game currency, were the fictional currency are used to redeem real world items or even be used as coupons, like buying merch from the actual online stores. buying them through microtransactions, using real money to buy the merch from the company's official online stores, or using prepaid cards to buy them.
The reverse can happen, were microtransactions are used to buy in-game currency from the virtual store. Some games have in-game currency trickier to obtain, like making them rare to find during gameplay, having the gamer go through a long level grinding slog, or have two different version of in-game money one easier to obtain while the other is rare and might require actual shopping. Just to entice them to spend real world money.
Another example of in-game currency used as weird currency is '''gold farming''', a practice that's more frequent in the [[Massively Multiplayer Online]] games were gamers acquire in-game currency and selling it for exchange of real money. It's very distinct, since it's primarily just doing practices, like power leveling, and other means in the game to harvest up the in-game currency. Gamers from first world countries, who don't want to grind for whatever reason pays gold farmers, from developing countries, a pretty penny. This method is an extreme example of obtaining in-game money, since those in developing countries also need real life essentials.
