If this is your first Optimus video welcome along for the ride and make sure to take this super seriously in the comments. I need a five paragraph essay from each of you on why an OG like me doesn't have the right to talk about issues that actually affect people.
@@CheeseChud Thank you - it's been rough breaking the news to them that they'll never be able to have this skin and for my accountant who has put in that work over the years just to see it erased by greed.
Firstly, the term "OG" in this context is subjective and doesn't inherently grant anyone a special pass to dismiss others. Being an "OG" in Fortnite doesn't mean you've lived through hardships or possess a deeper understanding of social issues. It simply means you've been playing the game for a while. The length of time spent playing a game doesn't automatically translate to wisdom or authority on real-world issues. Secondly, everyone's experiences and perspectives are valuable. Even if someone isn't an "OG" in Fortnite, they still have a right to voice their opinions and concerns about issues that affect them. Dismissing someone's perspective because they haven't been playing Fortnite for a long time is dismissive and disrespectful. It's crucial to recognize that everyone's voice matters, regardless of their gaming history. Thirdly, the argument that "OGs" don't have the right to talk about issues that affect people is a slippery slope. It implies that only certain groups of people have the authority to speak about important matters. This creates a hierarchy of opinions, which can be harmful and limit meaningful discussions. We should strive for inclusivity and encourage everyone to participate in conversations about social issues, regardless of their background or gaming experience. Finally, engaging in meaningful discussions requires empathy and understanding. Instead of dismissing someone's opinions based on their "OG" status, it's important to listen, learn, and engage in respectful dialogue. Everyone has something to contribute, and dismissing someone's perspective based on their gaming history only hinders progress and understanding. So, don't let someone's "OG" status silence your voice. You have a right to express your opinions and concerns, and your perspective is valuable, regardless of how long you've been playing Fortnite. Remember, everyone's voice matters, and we should strive for respectful and inclusive discussions. Now, tell me, what are some of the issues that you're passionate about? I'd love to hear your thoughts and perspectives.
OK I wasn't sure myself, but in my defense I have Autism so I couldn't tell and really thought he lost it over them coming back, glad someone confirmed thst he's just f-ing with people
Like, didn’t he have trouble months ago in a Nicholas DeOrio reaction where he was caught in a deleted video ranting about not having luck with dating apps?? Is this video a troll, or is he actually raging while lying?
As a 73 year old father of 12 with 30 grandchildren, I’m crying and shitting my pants rn. My wife’s boyfriend bought me renegade raider and it changed my life. I got a job as a CEO, i own 20 super cars, 5 mansions and a yacht. I hate epic for giving these subhuman vermins what belonged to us ogs all along.
Completely unacceptable Epic Games is doing this. Me, my friends, my family, my friends family, and my friends friends family have all uninstalled this game over this.
Complete over reaction 😂. Anyone with a brain should’ve seen this a mile away once epic is desperate and want players back and to distract people from all the refunds. Sad y’all are more concerned about the skin than y’all are about predatory practices.
This comment is either a joke or a over reaction I was there in 2017 didn't get the skin still won't because it's mid idc if they bring back a skin they said wasn't exclusive
Optimus, a lot of people disagree with you, but I agree with you. OG skins are for OG players. If newer players wanted it, then they should’ve been there in the beginning. In future videos, calm yourself more and try not bringing your family into these problems.
Optimus, as a well-known TH-cam creator and a prominent voice within the Fortnite community, your opinion carries weight with many fans, especially those who share your attachment to Fortnite's early days. However, your recent outcry over the return of the Renegade Raider skin seems to be an overreaction, especially when considering the broader context of Fortnite’s evolution and the needs of its diverse player base. While it's understandable that certain OG skins carry nostalgia and sentimental value for long-time players, your frustration seems misplaced when placed alongside the bigger picture of what truly matters within the gaming community. The core issue with your argument is that you seem to be overly focused on the preservation of in-game rarity and exclusivity, as if the return of the Renegade Raider skin somehow diminishes its significance. Fortnite is a constantly evolving game, and Epic Games has repeatedly shown that it values inclusivity and accessibility. By bringing back older skins like the Renegade Raider, Epic allows newer players to experience what OGs like you once had, while also keeping the game fresh and engaging for its massive, ever-expanding audience. Exclusivity can hold sentimental value, but in the grand scheme of a live-service game, it’s a decision that helps the game stay relevant for years to come, benefiting the community as a whole. Beyond the skin’s return, your attention would be better served focusing on issues that actually affect the broader player base. Concerns like microtransactions, predatory in-game purchases, toxicity within the community, and the impact of gaming on mental health are far more pressing matters that need to be addressed. While your emotional attachment to a skin is valid, it pales in comparison to the real-world consequences that Fortnite’s player base faces daily. There are many players who are struggling with the darker side of gaming, and your platform could be far more impactful if you chose to raise awareness about these issues, rather than focusing your energy on something as trivial as a skin’s re-release. As a creator with a significant following, your words carry influence, and it’s essential to recognize that your rhetoric can shape how others perceive these issues. By overreacting to something like the Renegade Raider return, you risk fostering a sense of elitism and entitlement among your audience. Many players who weren't around in Season 1 or didn't have the chance to unlock certain skins will view your complaints as dismissive of their experiences. This creates unnecessary division in the community, when Fortnite should be about bringing players together, regardless of when they started playing or what skins they own. Your platform could be used to promote a healthier, more inclusive conversation, rather than contributing to a divide based on virtual items. In conclusion, while your attachment to the Renegade Raider skin is understandable, it’s important to step back and consider the bigger picture. Your frustration with its return seems disproportionate when weighed against the broader issues within the gaming community. Instead of focusing on a cosmetic item that impacts only a small subset of players, your platform could be used to address real-world concerns that affect millions of Fortnite players. As a content creator with influence, you have the ability to foster positive change and promote meaningful conversations that go beyond the surface-level issues, ultimately contributing to a better, more inclusive community.
Fortnite is just losing its identity at the moment. They just bringing everything back from the dead just for their money they just greedy. As a loser who never got near renegade raider i still think it should have that special sign to show that your one of the true OG's
You know I don’t blame this guy the fact that Ogs had the skins before the non-OGS what i do like is that for the people who never got the skin can get it and for the people who has it I feel bad 😔 Note: I just agree on this guys opinion but you don’t have to I love everyone’s opinion the same even if it’s different from mine and others❤❤❤
Me as a non-player of Fortnite respects the OG players. It's like losing a CS:GO account with some of the rarest items and skins in it (There is some seriously rare and sometimes ridiculously expensive stuff for CS:GO).
@@PastaaFN Bro even if I were to be 7 i be the smartest 7 year old in the world fortnite should have not brought back the OG skin. They ruined the game. And if you can't see that, then you're living a sad life.
Don’t buy the Renegade skin if you respect OG Fortnite players. It’s more than a skin; it’s a symbol of their early commitment and grind. Let them keep their exclusivity
Fortnite skins worth 1,000 Meanwhile rocket league white hat god nugget ect. Worth more and look what happens rocket league trading is removed EPIC GAMES SUCKS!!
In the ever-evolving world of Fortnite, a game built on constant updates, cosmetic changes, and limited-time skins, the return of iconic skins like the Renegade Raider should be seen as a celebration for the gaming community, not as a reason for complaint. Optimus, a player who seems to feel entitled to the exclusivity of the Renegade Raider, is failing to recognize that Fortnite's model revolves around accessibility and enjoyment for all players, new and old. Rather than lamenting the return of the Renegade Raider skin, Optimus, who is 43 years old, should embrace the fact that the skin’s re-release provides others, including younger generations, the opportunity to experience a piece of Fortnite's history. Fortnite, as a game, thrives on its ability to evolve. The game’s constant updates and the reintroduction of rare items demonstrate its commitment to keeping the game fresh and appealing to all types of players. The Renegade Raider skin, once considered a rare and coveted item for those who played during the early seasons, no longer holds the same unique value as it did back then. Fortnite's shift towards re-releasing these skins ensures that players who might have missed out during the early days can now experience what was once a symbol of early dedication. This isn't a betrayal of the game’s original players; instead, it's an effort to celebrate the longevity and inclusive nature of Fortnite. A real "OG" (original gamer) would want others to enjoy the same experiences they did, not hoard exclusive content as a badge of honor. Moreover, Optimus’ complaint about the Renegade Raider’s return highlights a deeper issue: the unrealistic investment some players make in Fortnite skins. Spending thousands of dollars on digital cosmetics is a poor investment choice, especially when the game's developers, Epic Games, have demonstrated time and again that no skin is truly “permanent.” The game's economy is designed for items to cycle in and out, and re-releases like the Renegade Raider are part of this fluid system. By pouring substantial amounts of money into virtual goods that can easily lose their exclusivity or value over time, Optimus is making a financial misstep. Rather than seeing his Fortnite skins as investments, he should view them for what they are-temporary, digital items that hold entertainment value, not long-term monetary worth. At 43 years old, Optimus is also at a point in life where perspective should come into play. Gaming is a form of entertainment, and while nostalgia and the desire for exclusivity can be strong feelings, it’s important to keep them in context. Complaining about the return of a cosmetic item in a game, especially when that item is likely only important to a small subset of the player base, is an overreaction. As a seasoned player, Optimus should understand that the gaming industry, particularly free-to-play games like Fortnite, constantly adapts to maintain player engagement and satisfaction. Holding onto the idea that Fortnite skins should remain locked behind past seasons serves only to undermine the game's ability to thrive and grow in a competitive market. In conclusion, Optimus has no legitimate reason to complain about the Renegade Raider skin's return. Fortnite’s dynamic ecosystem and its focus on inclusivity should be celebrated by real OGs, not resented. Rather than criticizing the re-release of skins, players like Optimus should embrace it as a chance to welcome newcomers into the fold. Additionally, investing large sums of money into virtual goods that are designed to be fleeting is a poor financial decision, especially as Fortnite’s ever-changing nature continues to make past skins less relevant. At 43, it's time for Optimus to gain perspective on the transient nature of digital items and the importance of enjoying the game for what it is-a constantly evolving experience meant to bring joy to all players, no matter their time of entry.
Are we serious about this? You do know their giving you an og style, A. And B the original season shop litteraly said "these items may come back at a later date, and C if you want to prove someone your "og" prove it with the season 2 battle pass, im beyond confused that your this mad about a skin, oh and its against the terms of service to sell accounts buddy
Optimus if i can be 100% real with you, from a 31 year old to a 40 year old. investing any money into a video game beside the purchase of said game, is retorted and a bad move my guy. They will 100% do this for the whales. you kinda brought this on yourself. you know these milti player games company's will do anything for a buck and will sell these. im sorry for you loss but, never question the evilness and lack of care for their players with these multiplayer company and never use real money for a online videogames that the servers can be shut down at anytime
I was like, is he serious? Then I got midway and I started laughing and saying “amen brother” 😂 father 5 and divorced had me in tears. This man said this kept him up at night tossing and turning 😂.

The fact people think he’s being deadass about this is hilarious
I want to make fun of those people. But honestly Opti's acting is Oscar award worthy
Are we serious about this? You do know their giving you an og style, A. And B the original season shop litteraly said "these items may come back at a later date, and C if you want to prove someone your "og" prove it with the season 2 battle pass, im beyond confused that your this mad about a skin, oh and its against the terms of service to sell accounts buddy
I know this is satire but the people who genuinely act this way are actually sad asl and they need to get a hobby outside of the game.
I wonder how many people that don't know this channel watched this and thought optimus was being legit.
He is legit like stop lying. How old he is then ik this comment is just ragebait so stop the 🧢
Dude, you nearly HAD ME for a second.
8.4/10 ragebait, could get SVP/MVP with that.
2:29 A 40 wahhhaaaaa 💀
I ain’t hating, Optimus, I never was a Fortnite OG but I will always be a Optimus OG
Dan Hentchel typa rant 😭😭
7:03 "let's keep this a buck 50" 😭
Haven’t heard that in a while
No way bro is 43
Stolen valor is crazy 14:02
Ts is frying me
Optimus rage bait arc continues
The people falling for it 😭😭
To all my OG brethren. "THEY NOT LIKE US!"
True optimus.
We need to stick together.
We need to make Fortnite great again!!!!!!!
Optimus, father of 5 😂 bruh
The top dawg of Millergrove heights (most dangerous hood in America) is back
Optimus being 43 with five kids was unknown information for me
You don’t sound 43 you sound like you are in your 20s
You sound like an idiot 😂😂😂
“Stolen valor” 😂😂😂
Optimus if i can be 100% real with you, from a 31 year old to a 40 year old.
investing any money into a video game beside the purchase of said game, is retorted and a bad move my guy. They will 100% do this for the whales.
you kinda brought this on yourself. you know these milti player games company's will do anything for a buck and will sell these.
im sorry for you loss but, never question the evilness and lack of care for their players with these multiplayer company and never use real money for a online videogames that the servers can be shut down at anytime
FAXS! the idea of spending money on a online game is like throwing you money in a trash compacter, you might get your money back. you probably won't
😂 Y'all need some Assistance in Satire. This Entire Video is satire
😂
You’re probably new, but he’s just making fun of people who actually act like this
R/whoooooosh
This guy is a genius
Never thought you were 43 lol
For the people who don't understand, this video isn’t serious.
Bro it is actually amazing how he can sound so serious and not be serious at the same time🤣
This is legitimately an out-of-season April-fools. I want more of these satirical videos.
Fortnite just wants money 😢 F in the chat for the OGS 🤧
no way this is a serious video. 100% ragebait, almost got me
Nah there is no way bro is wearing that skibidi toilet back bling 💀
I was like, is he serious? Then I got midway and I started laughing and saying “amen brother” 😂 father 5 and divorced had me in tears. This man said this kept him up at night tossing and turning 😂.
This video was really funny, love how so many people can't see through the ragebait 😂
