These Video Game Crossovers SUCK!

5. Star Wars And Fortnite

If you're an IP worth even a modicum of interest, there's a good chance that Fortnite has been sniffing your seat the moment you've stepped out for lunch, such is their greasy desire to shift microtransactions. Seriously, Ed Gein was less obsessed with skins and it's genuinely alarming to see even respected video game franchises bow to the mighty V-buck.

Now don't get me wrong, for the most part the crossovers are largely inoffensive, offering up some decently rendered skins and utterly bizarre dance moves, and in some cases like the Travis Scott live music event can be legitimately impressive.

However, things got "super stinky" when it came to Star Wars crossing paths with Fortnite because for many fans it straight up spoiled Rise Of The Skywalker for them.

We're all well aware that the sequel trilogy of films has their fair share of problems and made some rather questionable decisions, but for Lucasfilm to take a key plot point of their movie and dole it out via Fortnite was a boneheaded decision that made them look a galaxy far, far away from understanding how to interact with their core fanbase.

The plot point in question was Emperor Palpatine announcing that he was indeed still alive, which as you might expect is rather HUGE. When it came to the film's release however this rather crucial moment was revealed during a text crawl, robbing the reveal of any real impact and leaving fans having to google Fortnite in order to catch up on the IP they actually cared about.
