Fortnite started as a sanbox "everything" game
Wasn't until they added Battle Royale that it became big, but it was always intended to be a playground / creative shooter
What?
I only remember the wave-based, tower defense main mod. What playground mode was there?
You could build up your base (also a defense map) pretty freely, but it was never unlimited resources creative. You're right to be confused by this comment
Save The World isn't sandbox or everything and was the only launch mode for the game. It had more mobile gacha practices than anything tbh. I get thinking that seeing as it has taken cues from Roblox, but it isn't reality
