Abstract:
This article investigates the ethical and legal implications of increasingly manipulative practices in the gaming industry by looking at one of the currently most popular and profitable video games in the world. Fortnite has morphed from an online game into a quasi-social network and an important cultural reference point in the lifeworld of many (young) people. The game is also emblematic of the freemium business model, with strong incentives to design the game in a manner which maximizes microtransactions. This article suggests that to properly understand Fortnite's practices – which we predict will become more widely adopted in the video game industry in the near future – we need an additional perspective. Fortnite is not only designed for hyper-engagement; its search for continued growth and sustained relevance is driving its transformation from being a mere video game into a content delivery platform. This means that third parties can offer non game-related services to players within Fortnite's immersive game experience. In this paper, we draw on an ethical theory of manipulation (which defines manipulation as an ethically problematic influence on a person's behaviour) to explore whether the gaming experience offered by Fortnite harbours manipulative potential. To legally address the manipulative potential of commercial video game practices such as the ones found in Fortnite, we turn to European data protection and consumer protection law. More specifically, we explore how the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation and Unfair Commercial Practices Directive can provide regulators with tools to address Fortnite's manipulative potential and to make Fortnite (more) forthright.

Abstract:
This article conceptualizes a framework for understanding the discourse and literacy practices generated by players of the video game, Fortnite. As a teacher educator interested in studying how multiliteracies cultivated in social settings can be leveraged toward academic success, my two objectives for this theoretical article are to examine how Fortnite players operate within their digital community and to explore what relationships may be established between the game’s social literacy contexts and formal literacy learning. In light of Fortnite’s connections to reading comprehension, discourse systems, and social learning environments, recommendations are made for future research, including considerations of school-based implementation.

Abstract:
This article investigates the sociabilities that surround in-game concerts and music scenes in the massively multiplayer online games Fortnite and Minecraft. Drawing on ludomusicology and cultural studies, it will rethink the virtual music scene concept to better incorporate the technical, economical, aesthetic, and social aspects that affect how relationships are developed inside MMOs among members for whom music and games play a primordial role in their personal life-worlds. Focusing on Travis Scott’s Astronomical performance in Fortnite sponsored by the video game and music industries, as well as the independent music festivals in Minecraft organized by volunteer-run virtual events producer Open Pit, allows for comparisons that are valuable in highlighting the characteristics that define a virtual music scene and differentiate it from an in-game concert. In order to conduct such a task, this essay will analyze Scott’s Astronomical performance currently hosted on YouTube while also considering statements made by the rapper in his 2019 Netflix documentary Travis Scott: Look Mom, I Can Fly and magazine interviews with the rapper and the team responsible for this event. In order to understand Open Pit’s festivals, several interviews with its members available online, as well as excursions undertaken by journalists to these events, will be investigated, providing an immersive account of what attending an Open Pit music festival can feel like from their perspectives. In the end, the article argues that as much as Scott’s performance changed what can be expected of in-game concerts by joining game and music aesthetics, Open Pit’s periodic events and their connection to the hyperpop music genre are a better representation of the virtual music scene concept developed in this article.

Abstract:
In 2017 the company Epic Games created the videogame Fortnite. This game has become the cross-platform survival and open experience with the greatest penetration worldwide. The rapid increase of use has spread alarm voices among parents and the media have echoed these concerns criticizing the game for being responsible for most afflictions suffered by children and adolescents. 178 The study is based on an understanding of the game as a key element in personal and social development. Therefore, this project aims to explore and describe the specific interactions emerging as a result of the penetration of Fortnite into family life, seeking to extend our understanding of the phenomenon and the potential effects that it may produce in the family dynamics. The research also seeks to categorize the dynamics generated, emphasizing more specifically on implications for parents in terms of educative mediation. Concerning the methodology, this is a qualitative exploratory case study, in which observations and in-depth interviews are the main sources of data collection. According to the analysis of the first interviews and observations, it is possible to provisionally hypothesize that, unlike simplistic views spread through mass media of Fortnite as a new dangerous addictive platform for young people, the diverse contexts and realities that configure each family make this type of linear interpretations highly problematic. Most technological devices affect the interaction and relational dynamics already installed in families. Throughout the last forty years, television and offline video games have been playing a significant role in shaping the family relationships. Online environments today increase such influence. The complex interrelations generated in blended social ecosystems, such as 'what is' or 'what is not' permitted, the mechanism of videogame banning or use as a form of punishment or reward, the myths, and ignorance on the part of adults concerning the ‘virtual’ socialization of youth and the relevance of this practice among young people, are some of the contributions that can be drawn from this investigation. This presentation exposes the collaborative work conducted by researchers of Universidad Austral (Argentina) and Universidad de los Andes (Chile), which has gained the first place in the award provided by the Network of Latin American University Institutes of Family (REDIFAM).

Abstract:
Fortnite es un juego online con más de 250 millones de jugadores. En esta investigación, se propone un estudio de enfoque cultural y político de las identidades de un grupo de adolescentes jugadores de Fortnite a partir de sus manifestaciones discursivas. Se parte de un análisis de las manifestaciones discursivas expresadas en un grupo de discusiónpara analizar cómo el juego actúa como un vehículo en el proceso de presentación de la identidad individual en la vida cotidiana. El estudio permite profundizar en patrones de comportamiento juvenil en los nuevos contextos digitales y en los rasgos de la relación que se establece entre los jugadores a partir de sus diferentes perfiles. Los resultados, muestran cómo se jerarquizan y se relacionan los jugadores dependiendo de la identidad que construyen durante el juego. Se demuestra que los estudios del discurso son una herramienta pertinente para el estudio de los videojuegos en determinados contextos socioculturales

Abstract:
Abstract This paper explores how players perceive Fortnite streamers as influencers and how these internal perceptions shape their experience of the streamers’ videos and their own gameplay. Fortnite is currently the most popular multi-platform free-to-play game. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted revealing that streamers are, first, perceived as entertainers by showcasing high-level gameplay. Gamers consume this content because it is perceived as fun, relaxing, and an engaging way to learn. Streamers are, second, an inspiration to play by inspiring competition, collaboration, curiosity and commitment in gamers through their expertise in showcasing the game. Finally, gamers perceive streamers as endorsers through their videos as skins are perceived as giving social status, the battle pass is perceived to provide rewards, skin choice is highlighted in the player’s game, and new game mechanics are promoted.

Abstract:
Given the need for greater information technology literacy, as reflected in SDG 4 of the 2030 Agenda, it is necessary to motivate interest in information and communication technologies (ICT) from childhood. The aim of this study is to verify that the use of video games enables the development of an interest in children that favors digital competences related to leisure and education. To this end, the relationships among some of the most used video games by children (Brawl Stars, Roblox, and Fortnite) are analyzed. A sample of 371 children (aged 8 to 12) attending primary school in Spain was taken. Structural equation models were used to analyze the relationships between measurable and latent variables. The results show (i) the mediating role of fun use of ICT in achieving the educational use of ICT effect and (ii) the different levels of ICT use depending on gender.

Abstract:
As a result of rapid technological advancement, educators are turning to alternative pedagogy to instill valuable knowledge and transferable skills to their pupils. Esports and video games are being examined as a potential avenue. This research, backed by empirical data, explains how the content of particular games can indirectly teach players real-world skills and advanced academic concepts. Five different soft skills (responsibility, communication, teamwork, problem solving, leadership) and two core academic areas (mathematics, language arts) are examined using in-game elements of the following 12 video games/video game franchises as evidence to support claims of video games being a source of indirect education: Neopets; League of Legends; The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim; Overwatch; Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild; Tetris; Portal; Fortnite; Assassin's Creed; World of Warcraft; No Man's Sky; and Spyro.
