What is going on with Fortnite

I play this once in a while, and as time goes on, it's turning more and more into a celebrity money laundering scheme.

75% of the skins are just famous people. Endless variations of celebrities. Tacky cheap explotation of fame and nostalgia.

It is starting to feel like an invasive ad.

I am not sure how long you've been playing this, but they started putting real people into the game around 5 years ago. and had full on DC and Marvel seasons... also around 5 years ago.
they had multiple star wars themed seasons already, multiple Marvel themed ones, they had Transformers based stuff etc.

this is happening since forever.
 
I got the kill bill uma Thurman skin for free with my $5 a month gamepass ultimate. That is enough for me to look past all that bullshit.
 
Theyve been adding big names since chapter 2 when they got bored of making new characters.

From a gameplay perpective…honestly I feel the game has improved. But thats mostly because a couple chapters ago they added a no-build mode and that makes the game far more streamlined without having t oworry about sweaty 12 year olds building an entire house in 2 seconds.

As for characters, yeah, its like they saw smash bro's ultikate's tagline "everyone's here!" And said "hold my beer!" Because goddamn, i wasnt expecting miku and godzilla to team up on the recent big-bad but I'm glad i saw it happen
