That's kinda how it used to be.
But I guess there's enough idiots now defending microtransactions with such clever takes like "nobody forces you to buy those!"
Seriously, I got my niece the battle pass, thinking cool lots of skins she can unlock. Nope, she wants v bucks for every holiday and her birthday to collect every single "limited time" skin. It's nuts how it highjacks their dopamine to funnel money to Epic.
Fortnite probably has the fairest monitization in all games with the fairest battle pass you can unlock for free after a couple seasons or buy once and then get enough currency to always be able to buy the new battle pass with it.

Or you can just sell the game and release modding tool like they use to with Unreal Tournament.
I wouldn't know anything about the specifics of how the microtransactions work. I never touch any game with them.

I'm an adult and my nephew called me a "default" a couple years back because I had downloaded fortnite to give it a shot and had the default skin.
I still haven't recovered.
