Fortnite is now even accused of divorce

Fortnite was blamed for the violence, the students missed school and now apparently they are divorcing.

The survival video game has been cited in a number of recent ruptures, according to a new poll.

As popularity grows, the list of things to be accused of is getting longer and longer.

From credit card theft to bad dance, here are our top five.

Divorced

Fortnite's goal is to survive as long as possible – but spend too much time concentrating on it and your marriage could die.

According to a divorceonline.co.uk study, 200 divorces since January 2018 mentioned dependence on Fortnite and other online games as one of the reasons for the relationship breaking down.

A partner who plays at Fortnite is probably very annoying, but it may not be the one and only reason for a divorce.

Bad dance

Flossing, freshness and flutter – it's not a tip from your dentist, but crazy dancing that has become much more popular thanks to Fortnite.

Dancing is not a bad thing, but it can be embarrassing if you have to watch people move badly.

They usually end up being memes and you can not do without social media.

Dr. Alex from Love Island this year celebrated his attempt with silk when he discovered Hollywood actress Margot Robbie who had found him cute.

England and Tottenham footballer, Dele Alli also loves a good Fortnite dance.

It's not that bad, because a health club claims to have found a way to keep Fortnite-obsessed teenagers away from their game consoles.

David Lloyd has introduced an exercise class for those who want to learn the dance moves presented in the game.

Play Fortnite instead of doing math

Fortnite Battle Royale was launched on mobiles in March and students could play wherever they wanted.

Students in a school were so distracted that their teacher developed a plan.

He posted on the Reddit thread of the game, asking game developers if they could "play with" his students.

"Mr Hillman says stop playing in class" is now available on an application loading screen.

Focus on work

NBA player Andre Drummond says he is addicted to the game.

He told the laundry report that he had taken his life in hand.

Drummond says the funny thing is that he's not even very good at gambling.

He rarely kills attacks and spends most of his time not dying in the early stages of the game.

It was also claimed that baseball player David Price missed a match because he was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome due to Fortnite.

The syndrome causes pain due to pressure on a nerve on your wrist.

The assertion was that he developed the problem by playing the game – something that he denies.

Violence

The NSPCC children's charity claimed that Fortnite could expose them to violence.

The game is about trying to kill as many people as possible to progress.

But this is not new, since video games began to be accused of exposing people to violence.

Research conducted by Andy Przybylski, of Oxford University, examined the impact of video games on our mental health.

His results show that only 0.3% of players could have problems controlling time spent playing.
