In a move I suspect everyone saw coming, Epic Games has confirmed that "thousands" of Fortnite players have been hit with bans since the public introduction of the battle royale's limited-time proximity chat mode, Delulu.
Fortnite Delulu – called that for reasons beyond my understanding – was initially only available for players with creator codes (so, y'know, streamers and content creators), and the videos coming out of it looked like a jolly 'ol time. The mode, which allows you to team up with other strangers (and betray them to grasp victory for yourself), appeared to have it all, from players roleplaying as Solid Snake, to opening their own peaceful in-game stores and offering fellow players weapons and heals. But when the general public was given access… well, you already know where this is going.
