Fortnite announced this week that V-Bucks—the last remaining currency with any goddamn dependability around here—were about to get more expensive. “The cost of running Fortnite has gone up a lot and we’re raising prices to help pay the bills,” said Epic. I’m not a Fortniter (no reflexes at my age, you see), but given the…
Cyberleek, the group or person (it’s not clear which) behind today’s big Grand Theft Auto 6 leak, claims it’s not just doing it for the lulz.
