> I think this is less about Fortnite ... make themselves feel better about their own insecurities.

Sure, I got that, I'm just saying that I felt okay letting kids play Fortnite because it didn't have the hallmarks of the well-publicized dangers from other free to play games. But regardless of whether the problem comes from people and culture surrounding the game or the designer of the game, I think I'll restrict my kids' access to it if it starts to look like a hazard.

Anything that's free to play and requires a credit card is potentially dangerous for kids.
