With the community divided in opinion regarding Travis Scott’s cosmetics, how the developers handle it is left to be seen. However, according to one Reddit post, Epic Games has taken a unique stance on the matter.
Players can now remove Travis Scott cosmetics from their locker in Fortnite
According to a post on the Fortnite subreddit, players can now remove Travis Scott cosmetics from their locker. This was bound to happen, given the scale of the tragedy.
The backlash from the community has been swift and hard-hitting in Fortnite Season 8. With the season winding up, the last thing the developers need is agitated players. Either way, they already have their hands full fixing the Discovery Tab.
Coming back to the matter at hand, another Reddit user confirmed that Epic Games would indeed remove Travis Scott-related cosmetics if the player so wished. NotChipsCheeseBean said:
However, the cosmetics are yet to be removed and there has been no follow-up from the support team. Nonetheless, the developers are acknowledging that players want these cosmetics taken away.
Epic Games isn’t forcefully removing everything
Removing Travis Scott cosmetics would be for the best. However, those were all paid for. Suffice to say, Epic Games will have to refund millions of players if they decide to tread down that path.
Furthermore, not everyone feels that the items should be removed from their locker. Despite the tragic event, cosmetics had no part to play. In addition to being a sensible option, players have the right to choose. Forcefully removing Fortnite cosmetics that have been paid for won’t bode well for some within the community.
