Theres been a wave of these articles and I think it's mainly due to the journalists having grown up and having children who play computer games.

In other words, it's a topic of the chattering clases trying to understand the youth.




the youth?

everyone at my office plays Fortnite and we're from 30 to 50 years old.


while I agree there are certainly adults playing. Web search of fortnite demographics put A LOT (like a 50% or more at < 24).

My own anecdotal experience in squads is that half are probably teens. So - the parent comment is certainly conceivable.
