totally eclipsed

What’s it like to watch your favorite game overshadowed by a spin-off mode?

Here’s Mighty Goat, one of the many struggling streamers uploading Fortnite Battle Royale videos to the internet every day. His library offers jump-pad highlights, cross-country snipes, and garish guides on how to acquire the latest skins. But recently, in the middle of all that, he tried something different. “We’re gonna play the new—well I guess it’s not new—but it’s new to me, Save The World,” he says. “It’s like the campaign version of Fortnite. I’ve never played it. I’ve never even seen videos on it.”
