Why the actual fucking fuck did Fortnite get in bed with these petro boomers?! Shell must be one of the brands farthest removed from the target demographic. I can't believe they need the cash that badly, and like you say, this can only backfire. Millions of views on that vid, almost no likes.

I can't believe this exists, it's almost funny. Maybe they can do Depend Adult Undergarments branded content next.

Prob same reason they are in bed with tencent
Fortnite supports 3rd party maps created by content creators. Shell paid content creators to create a map for them.
Not clear if they did, don't know Fortnite the article mention just "map creators" so it might be just a mod without any involvement from Epic.
Cos Timmy is losing money.
