Fortnite fans are riled up over ‘greedy’ sidekick pets

Some Fortnite fans have a bad taste in their mouths, and it’s not because they’ve savaged Peely alongside The Simpsons family. The game’s new mini-season, which transforms the map into Springfield, also introduced a new mechanic in the form of sidekicks. There’s no denying that Fortnite‘s new pets are cute. But the associated prices have left some fans aghast at Epic Games’ attempts to monetize as many aspects of the game as possible.
