Increasingly stricter government regulations may be the culprit.

I don't play the game but boy is that government absolutely horrible.

Ah yes such an amazing country.

      Poor Chinese citizens. Being controlled by their own government like they are mere pawns.

          Ironic given Tencent's major investment in Epic.

Or Overwatch before the devs went in with mass banning? Oh lets not forget War Thunder holy bag of toxicity that is! :D

                    Below 18 can't play more than 3 hours a week? Good its better for children to play outside than gaming on electronics
                    IMO same should be for over 18 globally no more than 10hrs a week

                        Shit game

                          Anonymous, 18 Nov 2021Chinese company stops providing their product in China but ... moreIt's Epic games' product. Tencent only has shares in Epic because they wanted to provide Fortnite to chinese market. I expect they will sell their shares soon if there are no more such plans.

                            Wow. Imagine there is a single country of 1.4 billion people still living in communism in 2021.

                              Meh, who cares? Call of Duty is way better.
                              After playing for a while CODM, I saw some fortnite videos on yt and my first thoughts were that it looked like a very bad replica of CODM.

                                    Great, shut it down. This game has some of the most toxic players in the PC gaming world.

                                        More likely lower playerbase than expected? Like Steam have no issues with their games there anyway. Maybe coz players there cater more to mobas, mmorpgs, rts more than fps games?
