Fortnite devs backtrack on controversial skins age-gate—but it’s not scrapped yet
Epic Games has felt the backlash of its Fortnite community over its decision to age-gate several cosmetics and as a result have removed the feature, at least for now.
Epic is seeking a long-term solution before bringing back its controversial age-gating that resulted in a ton of the game’s cosmetics being restricted in particular modes. The developer will be reviewing its complete range of cosmetics again, the devs explained today, and as of the v28.00 on Dec. 3, fewer than 10 skins will remain restricted.
