Kamala Harris launches gun-free Fortnite map to promote voting but sees low player turnout
Kamala Harris has launched a new map called "Freedom Town" in Fortnite, where players are encouraged to vote and fight for freedom. However, the map notably bans virtual guns, shifting the focus from combat to collecting campaign-themed items. The initiative has seen low participation, with only 383 players engaging, compared to Fortnite's average of over 300,000 players per map. This highlights a significant disconnect between Harris's campaign and the gaming community. Critics argue that the move reflects broader issues within the gaming industry, where attempts to incorporate progressive themes have not resonated with many gamers. The low turnout raises questions about Harris's appeal to this demographic ahead of the upcoming election.
