AA GAMING YT you’re fuckin stupid!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. It was obviously a Joke!!! Please don’t reproduce!!
I dunno man Playa Undressed Buttole Grunts is better, especially on the PissC.

GOD OF WAR WON THE AWARD OF BEING THE BEST GAME THIS YEAR
That depends on the country…. Anyways even if it is the best, it is not the most played. A Ferrari is maybe the best, but everyone drives a VW (Or Ford, as said, depends where you live)
+Spider Pig Ford? Damn, in what kind of crazy country do you live?
+Mihail Ignatov Why must it be “crazy”?
+Spider Pig Makes sense!
When he said bingeing Marvelous Miss Maisel, i felt personally attacked 😭😭
What does that even mean? Please help. English is not my mothertongue.
+Guy Withdacap it’s a show on Netflix.
@Tonya thank you 🙂
+Guy Withdacap its actually not on Netflix, itd on Amazon prime
Lol still not going to acknowledge that floss move in YT Rewind?
Seems Im not the only one who wants that heheh
this!
This is bs. My kids ply the game but we don’t spend money on it and they have days/times of game play. I tell my kids that too much if anything is bad for you. They listen and do as told. Maybe more parents need to parent and stop just letting the game system watch the kids.
I agree with you 100%%%%%. Kids will do as told bc parents are the ones in control. If you don’t want your kids to play video games then don’t buy it for them. Where r they gonna get the money??? I mean come on, what we need is to teach our kids how to become responsible, kind adults. Make them do some chores and earn their gaming time, make them get a job and pay for their auto insurance. Instead of giving them a hand out, how about we prepare them for real life. Be a parent and your kids will thank you
True. Parents need to realize they have the power to turn it off (not just the system but also the internet).
But what about all of the adults playing 20 hours a day? It’s not 200 million kids playing.
Someone needs to help Ronny Chieng out; the dude’s got a problem. This whole story was a cry for help.
What big billion dollar corporations love is keeping us all fighting in the edges of hyperbole. Blaming it all on other parents is not healthy and blaming it all on the one game itself is silly as well. Fortnite doesn’t necessarily create addiction… but it exploits addictive tendencies with gambling mechanisms and tailored grind loops. It’s silly to blame it all on games, but it’s also silly to dismiss the shady gambling structure practices of a lot of our video game publishers. Other countries have woken up and have made a lot of the predatory practices found in games like Fortnite illegal. You wouldn’t put your child in a casino room full of slot machines and say “hey you can pull on this particular lever every hour as long as you play. maybe you’ll get a fancy reward… oh those other machines… well you could pull their levers whenever you want… and the chance is greater for unique rewards but it’ll take some real world money…. just focus on pulling this one every hour on the hour…”
+gooberweevil While the game is primarily based on luck (what guns are on the ground, chest loot, where you have to go, etc.) there are is no luck when it comes to getting skins and other cosmetics. You do have to buy skins in the store however or buy the battle pass. There is nothing that you can buy that will truly affect advantages and disadvantages in the actual gameplay except for darker skins which is probably the only advantage to buying things. The cosmetics are only to look different. If you don’t want your kid to buy anything, I am pretty sure you can restrict access to paying for things if it is child account on Xbox. There is most likely another way to do this for adult accounts but not to my knowledge. A better example of random chance for getting things that give an advantage and you have to pay for was Star Wars Battlefront 2 on the PS4/Xbox.
THANK YOU ITS NOT FORTNITES PROBLEM ITS THE PEOPLE WHO LACK SELF CONTROL/PARNETS
who else didnt even relize trevor was there
AA GAMING YT It also explains the real reason he lost his voice.
What’s the difference ?
Dopamine is dopamine is dopamine…
APC
gnaskar m8 going in the sience-y direction, love/fun/family/friends induces serotonin which is a hormone that is not addictive. Just saying.
I agree with Jon though, people blame everything and over complicate things while it’s just the addiction to dopamine.
True AND this is not the same as heroin addiction
+Deerwoman L’nu Trujillo falls on deaf ears. if you have $200 million to influence the govt may as well be shouting halt to a stop sign
A Skinner box is a Skinner box.
😜
I don’t even understand the concept of Fortnite. I’ve seen people play it . What’s so interesting about it ?
+M A I was describing it to a person who may not know the experience of another PvP game. Or possibly games at all.
I find it best to put it into terms that someone with no experience could understand!
+gozzilla177 okay no problem.
strong competition,teamplay or soloplay, ever changing battlefield, players forced to get close to others after some time so you need to adapt often and there is many fun features. the game can be played seriously or you can just go completely crazy (by building weird shits,by walking in the sky or hidding yourself in weird bushes etc…)
there is also a pro scene so kids good at it can have prospects
All these comments in here.. No that sounds terrible! Its a cartoon battle royale first person shooter? K, yeah, no. RPG’s all damn day, yes.
M A I never thought something this bright and colourful would be taken seriously in anything other than mobile. So wrong.
Next thing you know, people are going to sell “detoxifying” liquids to “cleanse” people of gaming toxicity.
Tide pods?
I’m going to start a 12 step program and become rich! 🤣
I’m surprised that goop hasn’t released a video game detoxifying Stone yet
Charlatans will.
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t spend your money on fortnite, spend your money on this guy, at his camp.
“I don’t understand how video games work, so therefore they must be addictive.” ….
Dumbasses.
I love how they first say videogames are bad and addicting. So lets use it to trap kids into the army
Well honestly spending money on fortnite seems indeed way more stupid than giving it to this guy. I can have fortnite for free, so why pay? At least kids should learn that just buying that fancy clothing doesn’t make you better.
As usual, the problem isn’t the game, it’s the people playing it who lack any self control. And yet people will blame video games anyway.
EDIT: So reading the replies, I will concede to the fact that some games and apps are designed to make you spend as much time on them as possible. However, in the case of Fortnite, it’s just a standard battle royale. Last man standing wins. There doesn’t appear to be anything malicious behind the concept. My point in my original comment was to call out people who will use this piece of news as ammunition to fire against video games, when the problem is less the video game and more on how people react to it. Hope this cleared some things up.
shaving ryan’s privates I am sure there are consequences, especially for the gulliable weak minded. They probably can develop violent tendencies..
Nate DeMers amen..
shaving ryan’s privates you would be sad to know, that the majority of kids who shot up their classmates also participated in playing violent video games… Granted there were other factors, but it is a possusble contributing factor.
Wow! I didn’t know you were a behavioral psychologist
Brian Ngoma stop playing fortnite u virgin shit
LOL, drop fortnite on ISIS. i’m dying 😂😂😂.
would that many get addicted though?
+DiversityProductions YES IT WOULD!!!
I’ve been saying this exact thing ever since it got released on switch. And I’m not joking.
Now I am just picturing ISIS fighters doing Fortnite dances in the middle of some desert battlefield.
Your Dropping in Syria boys
I love how Trevor shares his seat of fame at The Daily Show with others…Its just beautiful! Keep it Trevor, you doing a great job.
Yes and the dimples 😍
+Nae West always the dimples!
I’m sure his team scans comment sections for ideas.
You know it’s actually very possible that it’s the wife playing fortnight……
I noticed that as well…
It could also be the inlaws… 🙂
Ronny Cheng is just one hell of a comedian. This is serious humour, just the best way to describe. So intense. 😀😀
he’s the best
boy these white ppl try and solve everything but the right thing
White people? What is white people?
Some people don’t just can’t find the fking OFF button on the fking monitor. Own your kids, people.
What if I said: “boy these _Mexican immigrants_ try and cross everything but the right gate”.
Do you see the obvious issues with the above sentence?
1 – Capitalize first word.
2 – Missing comma after “boy”.
3 – Missing full-stop/period mark.
4 – Missing comma after “everything”.
5 – Using “and” instead of “to” –> “try to solve”
Oh yeah, I excluded “Mexican immigrant” from the list because I think that you are too stupid to understand the underlying detrimental implications.
BTW
– @0:10, I heard “people”, and not “white ppl”.
– @0:21, I heard “experts”, and not “white ppl”.
– @0:23, I heard “behavioural health experts”, and not “white ppl”.
…
I get addicted to studying all the time but no one told me that’s bad
It’s okay to be addicted to productive things.
This just in! Studying all the time has impaired my ability to be a social person! Time to blame college for something!
+Vic Rattlehead Tell that to introverts
1. Play Fortnite with your wife, then you won’t have to worry about it. 2. Gah, can we stop blaming everything else for our problems already this is getting ridiculous.
+Ingrid P XD People spend their free time in any number of ways. An adult who chooses to unwind by playing a video game is no different from one who chooses to unwind with a trip through wine country or going skydiving. Not everyone can afford to “relax” and video games offer a cheaper alternative to vacation.
+R R My S/O and I play World of Warcraft together definitely my best teammate haha.
its not the Videogames,
its the Mexicans!!
(sarcasm)
+Ingrid P What about adults that make video games?
To make a great game, one has to have/be-in the right “mindset”.
So, what about a partner that makes video games?
+Ingrid P Ingrid is obviously old…and a snob.
Children need a parent who is smart enough to limit their child’s video game time. The children don’t need rehab, they need good parents!
