Fortnite isn't near/first of anything except the mix of existing motifs they mixed together and executed on exceedingly well. It's not a novel format like the first sandbox or rpg or fps or anything

Of it's generation, fortnite was the first to really nail the aesthetics and "How do you do, fellow kids"-elements. The gameplay is almost secondary.

PUBG is almost intimidating, fortnite is the opposite.
