Summary
Epic Games has removed and banned over 100 Creative mode maps that featured serious content violations.Fortniteis most known for its Battle Royale game mode. Initially, Epic Games intended to make Save the World the mainFortnitemode, but as Battle Royale grew in popularity, the company decided to put the PvE campaign on the back burner and shift its focus completely. As time went by, thePlayground game modewas released, which allowed players to freely explore the Battle Royale island and set their own matches with friends.
As players grew accustomed to Playground, they started to wish for more customization options, which led to the launch of Creative, a game mode that allowed gamers to freely build their own maps and experiences. Epic Games continued to work on Creative, and it eventually evolved into Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), also known as Creative 2.0. This way, fans canmake their own games inFortnite, and they have access to tons of tutorials and helpful tools that can help them navigate and understand the complexity behind the engine.
Even though manyFortnitecontent creators come up with unique ideas that lead to the creation of awesome games using UEFN, there are some bad seeds that make and publish inappropriate content using the platform. Recently,Fortnitefans started to notice an alarming increase in content creator maps of a racist nature, and this led to many complaints to the developers. Epic Games has now stated that it has started to remove the maps thatbreached the Fortnite Creative code of conduct, and over 100 maps have already been removed.
Many gamers were happy to learn that Epic Games listened to their feedback and took action. However, there is no doubt that the company needs to improve the moderation process so that these maps never see the light of day.
Fans are hopeful that Epic Games will learn from this mishap and come up with a better strategy to avoid situations like this. On top of this, many commented how they hope Epic permanently bans theFortniteusers who engaged in this behavior.
