Fortnite is played my millions of people, unless Epic have stated this officially then your assumption that it's primarily played by kids is kind of baseless.
There are shit tons of young adults and teenagers playing and streaming the game too.

For the sake of reality making some sense, I hope this isn't real. These movies are a slaughter with a layer of plot.
I just can't see how this is a good idea for Epic.

lol what ... what is this new dumbass purity test
are 'gamers' that insecure?
Not a fan of Fortnite, but I love John Wick. I may be stupid enough to go for it.
He's the antithesis of this game's premise, so it makes absolutely no sense, but it doesn't matter when it comes to marketing and money.

Yeah, the Reaper skin really pales in comparison now.
Makes me even more disappointed in the Avengers skins, because despite being disappointed by how they made Star-Lord (and even Widow not looking like any traditional design), I read somewhere that Marvel gave them designs but Epic wanted to create their own designs so they fit more with their world. It made me accept it a bit more, but this not only looks just like John Wick from the movie, but it looks like Keanu Reeves!
Meanwhile Star-Lord and Black Widow have goofy bandanas wrapped around their arms for no reason just to look like they fit into the game.
Maybe because it isn't primarily for kids?
Bloody hell some of you need to step out of your little isolated bubbles.
Wasn't John Wick in the game already at some point? I remember seeing that skin during John Wick 2 IIRC.
I'm not a massive fan of Fortnite, but you bet your ass this will make me play to get this skin.
I think that skin will be for pay like the Avengers ones.
It's probably because its not primary played by kids. People just have assumed this because it's cartoony. Yet if you was to say Mario is for kids you'd get fucking roasted
People have conflated it being popular with kids with kids being it's primary audience, basically.
I can see the threads now: The building mechanic in Fortnite was decades ahead of its time, revolutionized the industry, and severely underrated!
If you look up the Fortnite player base stats it says 63% is between 18-24. SO that would suggest that it is NOT primarily a kid game.
1. They literally had a John Wick esque skin released a year or so ago.
2. Not just kids play Fortnite
3. It's not like 9 year olds are walking into John Wick 3 this week
No idea how this thread turned into "BUT THE CHILDREN!!!" over a game that has a primarily mechanic of... shooting each other.
EDIT: Were there not Die Hard, Terminator and Robocop games for the NES/SNES?

It feels like this Spider-Man meme
I have so many co workers in their mid 20s that love shitting on Fortnite for being a kids game but can never stop talking about Minecraft lol.
Cool! The fake-Wick skin was always one of my least favorite skins in the game so I'm happy that they're putting in the real deal. I just hope this doesn't mean the movie will feature Fortnite footage like that recent mediocre superhero movie.
Ahh yes so the john wick stuff for payday2 ruined JW2 as well right?
It's just funny to see.
But it makes it much easier to identify those who are either really young and/or just following internet trends.
I mean, sure some probably geniuly dislike it for some reason or another, but those people tend not to discuss the game at all as long as they are not asked.
You only noticed this now?
I'd have been down for a Chitauri skin.
Yes. See any Labo thread on this forum for examples.
I don't think it's appropriate at all, but Epic probably doesn't care about that aspect as much as its popularity.
