Modern human history has been shaped by many key events, ranging from the pair of World Wars to the birth of Bad Bunny. History classes celebrate these occurrences as vital in creating society, but they tend to overlook the most important and earth-shattering event: the creation of Fortnite. Its little-known effects have dominated how humans live. The potential of its arrival alone has impacted human society for centuries. As such, civilization on Earth owes itself to Fortnite in near-entirety, especially through the lenses of political borders, population dispersion, and personal lifestyles.
While it is a commonly accepted belief that borders between nations are decided through treaty and conquest, this is an unfortunate falsehood. Rather, geopolitical lines were drawn based on optimal Fortnite zoning. For example, the entire continent of Africa was formed and divided the way it is today based solely on Fortnite’s need for an African matchmaking region. Furthermore, the United States would not exist today if not for Epic Games conjuring up the Founding Fathers to take credit for “creating” the nation. All political borders and boundaries in the world are a result of meticulous consideration from Fortnite and its allies. Fortnite is truly the unsung hero of history. The entire world owes its existence to the game, yet the game contains itself to a humble benefactor instead of embracing its title as supreme lord of Earth.
Within the modern nation-states reside people, who, of course, were placed there according to Fortnite’s needs. If, for example, Fortnite requires more players in the Asian matchmaking region, it will simply cause more children to be born in that area. That is the sole reason why nations like India and China have such large populations; Fortnite’s Asia region needs a broad playerbase. Urbanization can lend its development to Fortnite too – people tend to cluster around other people not for safety and for security, but for access to high internet speeds that will help achieve more Victory Royales. In fact, in anticipation for the launch of Fortnite, the Industrial Revolution was started in order to lure more people to cities. However, Fortnite not only controls where people live, but how they live as well.
All humans can owe their lives to Fortnite. It completely dominates how they live. While there appear to be discrepancies between individual lifestyles when taken at face value, the truth is that all facets of anybody’s life all surmount in optimization for winning Fortnite games. For instance, some people eat more fresh food and unprocessed foods than others, but no matter a person’s diet, they eat solely for the purpose of being able to play more Fortnite. Everything in a person’s life, from diet to hygiene, is dominated by Fortnite’s needs. If Fortnite needs more players online, it will send a radio signal to gamers everywhere, forcing them to abandon their plans of showering and instead grind the Fortnite battle pass for days on end. Without Fortnite to guide them on how to live their lives, humans would simply cease to thrive. As such, Fortnite is imperative in sustaining life as it is known on this planet.
Beyond the creation of life itself, Fortnite can be credited for many things, but it chooses to not be for the sake of humility. In exchange, humans have submitted themselves to the game, as they should. While it is lamentable that Fortnite has not accepted its rightful throne as Earth’s leader, humans are still indebted to it for its decisions over where and how humans live. All hail Fortnite, and may random number generation forever be in humanity’s favor.
