Just wanna say #ThankYouEpicGames again for changing my life in the for the last ~4 years.. i dropped out at 15-16 cause the school system sucks in countries like mine & the good schools were too expensive for my family so i didn't know what to do until this game came out! ❤️

Usually, people complain about the game either because they took away a weapon and certain skins, or because of their map changes. Most recently, the tag is also trending since Epic Games' crackdown on pro players participating in Wager Matches.
