<p>The insanely popular free-to-play battle royale <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/fortnite">Fortnite</a></strong> just held a major live event known as “<a class="external" href="https://youtu.be/jasSEsEu_xc">The Device</a>” to conclude the second season. The event had been postponed on multiple occasions previously, so you can probably imagine how excited players were to finally witness this special moment in <em>Chapter 2, Season 2</em>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the event had so many players log on, the servers quickly reached capacity. While the event went ahead as planned, the result of this was a lot of fans were unable to watch the event unfold in-game. The official Fortnite Twitter account advised locked out players to view a Twitch Livestream if they still wanted to see what happened.</p>
<aside class="object object-tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><span lang="en" dir="ltr">Today’s event has reached capacity. If you’re not already in game, we recommend catching the event via livestream.<a href="https://t.co/5sOT64tNHl">https://t.co/5sOT64tNHl</a><a href="https://t.co/Bj9pDd0e7b">https://t.co/Bj9pDd0e7b</a><a href="https://t.co/UY9XcqlSwi">https://t.co/UY9XcqlSwi</a> <a href="https://t.co/in5exepB8U">pic.twitter.com/in5exepB8U</a></span>— Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) <a href="https://twitter.com/FortniteStatus/status/1272582606643757058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 15, 2020</a></p></blockquote>

<p>As can be seen in the replies section of this particular tweet, a lot of players who missed out directed their anger towards Epic’s servers. One <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/SirWalterSmith9/status/1272593683611881472">individual</a> said “your servers are terrible” while others called the company out for having an extra two weeks to get ready and felt they couldn’t even “<a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/_WIXP_/status/1272585029735120899">properly prepare</a>” for the occasion.</p>
<p>A lot of the same players had reportedly queue for the event hours beforehand and were then kicked right before it started. <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/Beamz24371680/status/1272583369721876481">Some</a> have simply had enough:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I’m ****ing done dude, after a month and a half of delay I can’t even watch the frickin event</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The odd <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/Jack93326147/status/1272596409385201664">response</a> was happy to defend Epic:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Stop blaming @Fortnite For not being able to meet your high end expectations.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The next big event for Fortnite is the start of season three. It’s also been delayed and will finally make its <a class="external" href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/5/28/21273276/fortnite-delay-end-season-event-device-chapter-2-season-3">debut</a> on Wednesday. Did you catch this season finale? Were you one of the many players who essentially got locked out? <em>Tell us below.</em></p>
