You can now rest easy, as the man himself has weighed in with some strong takes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Appearing on the New Heights podcast with brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, Affleck said he&#8217;s a big gamer, and is particularly fond of first-person shooter games, so when he tried Fortnite, he thought he&#8217;d hold his own. That wasn&#8217;t the case, though. He said not only did he get wiped out immediately, but the 12-year-olds he was playing against made fun of him after taking him out. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affleck said he got heated and shouted back at the kids: &#8220;I don&#8217;t suck! I&#8217;m a grown man!&#8221; <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ben Affleck says he gets into arguments with 12 year-olds who destroy him on Fortnite<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy son was obsessed with Fortnite, playing Fortnite all the time. I always play games. I play first person shooter games, so I think I&#39;m good, and then 12-year-olds just f*ck you up\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QjwgTIdSoS\">pic.twitter.com\/QjwgTIdSoS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Yonan (@yonann) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/yonann\/status\/2108191229884133646?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affleck also told a brief story about how his son wanted Fortnite skins for Christmas, and he was shocked to learn the specific skins his son wanted cost hundreds of dollars. &#8220;They ain&#8217;t even real? Just to wear in the game? That&#8217;s bullsh**,&#8221; Affleck said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affleck is a big fan of the competitive shooter Valorant. In the movie Gone Girl, Affleck&#8217;s character can be seen playing Battlefield 3. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affleck is not the only person who has some strong words for the state of Fortnite. Writing for GameSpot, Phil Owen recently talked about why Fortnite sucks this season.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/ben-affleck-has-some-strong-opinions-about-fortnite-skins-and-how-hard-the-game-is-for-him\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered what two-time Oscar-winner Ben Affleck thinks about Fortnite skins, and the game generally?
