This is exactly what happened with my niece, my nephew, and all of their friends.

Which isn't to say they've outgrown all of the games they played when they were younger. They still play minecraft, stardew valley, kirby, mario, etc. I don't know why, but they all bounced off of Fortnite after they hit a certain age. I wonder why.

I think these type of shooter games have significant competition. So you have games and genres that peak for times and then slowly or quickly get replaced. And entry to this is hard. You get lot of failures and few successes.

Counter-Strike might be a exception. It seems to keep older players well while still getting enough new ones. And also have enough gacha mechanics to make lot of money...
