Fortnite players are really hyped up about this giveaway, offering a chance for a $30 gift card and early access to the Ghost Monks skin. Within hours, a crazy frenzy started via the tweet, with hundreds chiming in about their dream purchases with the virtual cash. Needless to say, the answers were all sorts of fun.

The few rules of the giveaway were to follow @GoodGamers, retweet the giveaway tweet, and comment on what you would buy with the gift card. Now, what they were really looking for was a story behind it. The majority of the players could only think of one thing: the Squid Game bundle. Yup, that Squid Game. Evidently, the hits from the Netflix collab spell out in the replies, “@GoodGamers Squid games skin” and “@GoodGamers Need to buy that Squid Game bundle 🔥”!!! Some were even prepared to hold onto their V-Bucks in anticipation that those survey skins (you know, the ones dataminers keep finding) might be announced very soon.

Away from all the hype around Squid Game, there were some wholesome plans by other players, like @MarzIsKool, who said, “gift my girlfriend a cute girly skin 🫶🫶🫶.” Then, there was @CATlerious, thinking more about family, saying “upgrade my lil bros FN account.” Lastly, @MeiyuProject was talking about wanting to purchase a Ford Bronco SUV skin because “I don’t have an SUV, it would be my first one.” Relatable.

Not everyone was interested in long-term plans, though. Quite a few just wanted the Ghost Monks skin right now, with @Jango_darth saying simply, “Idk i just want the skin.” Me too, dude. Others had their eyes set on things called Street Fighter skins and emotes, and the Festival Pass got mentioned as well. @robert56706 says he would “buy overpriced digital sneakers for the homeless.” That was entertaining.

But the real point here is: the giveaway is bigger than just free stuff. It really gives a snapshot into what Fortnite players genuinely care about at the moment. Skins, sure. Collabs, definitely. But in some way, having fun with the game, be it proudly flaunting their new cosmetics or surprising a friend with a gift.

It’s okay if you’ve missed one or two already, dude. They’re so frequent that you’ll be lucky enough to stumble upon another soon. And who knows? Maybe by then, those survey skins will be in the shop. Till then, keep your eyes peeled on @GoodGamers; next time, you might be the one holding that gift card.

And if luck favors you with the grand win? Hold your horses and give it some thought before splurging all your money on one skin. Or maybe go ahead. It’s your money.
