Fortniteis going strong with its latest Chapter 5 Season 1 which introduced several new modes to the game such asRocket RacingandLEGO Fortnite. Players are enjoying the new game modes in Fortnite but are now worried that Epic Games might be planning to monetize building pieces.
This is speculated after Epic Games sent out a survey toLEGO Fortniteplayers that mentioned building pieces that can be purchased using real money and while it doesn’t confirm anything, fans are still worried about it and how it would affect the game.
LEGO Fortnite Survey Has Left Fans Worrying About the Game
Epic Games keeps sending out surveys to Fortnite players for feedback and how it can improve the game, making the experience more good for the players. The surveys have several questions that need to be answered and then the developers act based on feedback and improve the game. Usually, the surveys are answered and forgotten by players, the recent survey has embroidered in controversy as players think it might see Epic Games monetize building pieces in the game.
A renownedFortniteleakeriFireMonkeyshared a question from the latest survey on X/Twitter which was sent out to get feedback about game mechanics and other things in sandbox games. asking players about the game mechanics they have experienced in a“sandbox game”with several options including“Cosmetics that you’re able to earn in-game”and“Quests you must do in a certain linear order.”
However, one possible answer that stood out for the players was“Building and building pieces you can purchase in-game”and while Epic Games is only asking players if they have come across something like this in a game, players have already assumed that it is planning to sell buildings or building pieces forLEGO Fortnitein the item shop.
It can be said for certain that this is what Epic Games is planning, players are disappointed with Epic and they are blaming the company for trying to ruin the game. However, there are chances that they could be true since the survey was only sent toLEGO Fortniteplayers and LEGO has its products so it wouldn’t be too fetched to some buildings being sold in the item shop but it might not be good for the future of the game.
Players reacted to this in the comments of the post expressing how they are upset and against it. A usersaidthat“selling building pieces in a video game is outrageous.”Anotheruseradded that it would be“crazy bad”for the game with many adding that if the company wants to sell LEGO, it should consider real Fortnite LEGO sets and they would happily buy it.

Selling building pieces? Hilarious. Meanwhile, the game is littered with bugs, people are dealing with constant lag etc. and people are literally reaching build limits. Maybe they will start selling server space. Just charge for the game already and let people host it locally.

Players also added that while players in-game are fed with bugs, lags, and build limits, Epic Games is looking to sell building pieces. A player also added that it is a terrible idea and Epic Games should refrain from it. However, if it does happen, it wouldn’t affect players in rankings but players might feel left out if they can’t afford to see everything as things will be locked behind the marketplace and if they could pay, they might feel forced and it wouldn’t be good for the game.
