Fortnite’s gameplay, from a technical perspective, is actually inferior to Minecraft’s in any way due to the inability to keep players properly hooked for a long period of time, along with the stiff and inflexible modes of gameplay. This fact is coupled with the reality that fortnite was not organically grown and its community lacked the resolve and dedication present in other games, therefore overpopulating it with casuals. Minecraft had and still has tons of hardcore players, and so they managed to survive all these years even after the initial lustre had faded away.
