Wasn't the OG a base building survival game?

I believe it still exists, it's called "Save the World" mode, but it's extremely background for the game, to the point where the switch port doesn't have it, or I would've tried the mode by now, it appeals to me, but the Battle Royale doesn't, so I guess I just won't play Fortnite.

I remember seeing the original trailers for that and thought it looked really cool. Never got a chance to play they. Never been into this form of battle royale so I've never played Fortnite longer than a single match at a time for maybe 4 go's max across the years. It's never clicked.

I originally bought (yes, bought) Fortnite because a friend and I were super into H1Z1 (now the non-existent "Just Survive" version, RIP) and he thought they would be similar. They certainly weren't identical, but there was definitely some overlap.

Then PUBG started to get popular and both H1Z1 and Fortnite completely redesigned themselves ... One more successfully than the other.

Nostalgia edition is a sure sign it's bleeding players and they obviously have no idea how to replicate that success with fresh gameplay under a fresh name. It would be of immense help for Epic if their store took off (it even has cart now), but they destroyed a lot more goodwill with exclusives than they got with freebies. I hate-claimed 300+ games for free, never install anything from there and still wouldn't pay for an exclusive. Even if I didn't hate EGS I would never buy a game unless it's been out for a few years and is deeply discounted. Good luck, Epic, you'll need it, you overextended yourself and it's downhill from here.

OG? This isn't a tower defense style mode, so how is it OG? New Wave OG?

I want the Airbender season back. That was such a great experience.
