Fortnite’s impostor mode
Fortnite Impostors
Fornite Impostors Mode:
Fortnite introduces a new upcoming model that plays similar to Among us. This new model is called Fortnite Impostors. The rules are very similar to the viral game but with better graphics.
Even though Among us is not the first game to have such mechanic, they are the ones who perfected it for a low budget. InnerSloth LLC, is a small independent company composed of a team of three people. Meanwhile,Epic Games the creator of Fortnite is a 30 Billion dollar company. So them ripping of the underdogs is a bit tasteless but it is completely legal.
Some people did have a negative reaction about Fornite Impostors:
InnerSloth didn't invent the social deduction genre, but Fortnite's shameless rip off of Among Us exposes Epic Game's depthless hypocrisy, after whining about how Apple treated them.https://t.co/MrMDaAnqNf

Epic games are willing to collaborate with big companies like Disney, Warner Brothers, Capcom, etc but not with a smaller company. Fans may have better reception of this if it’s a legit collaboration instead of an obvious milking of neighbor’s cow. When Capcom made a hit out of Street Fighter II, Ripoffs came out everywhere which created a videogame genre. The Fighting game genre is a free real estate because of the lack of patent. Fortnite did copy some concepts from Minecraft and Z1. You won’t see something similar happened when Sims becomes a hit because EA patented the life simulator concept.
Fortnite Impostors doesn’t have the approval of The Among us team
It's the way Fortnite shamelessly copied Among Us and they didn't approve. 💀 pic.twitter.com/ivMWXtcPeh

You know seeing it again I want to say Fortnite's imposter mode is an even scummier rip off of Among Us when you consider the amount of effort it must have took to make the features for it. People say Fortnite stole from PUBG but Fortnite had the foundation of a FPS/Builder.

Fortnite Impostors plays similarly to Among Us but with a higher budget. It is an obvious cash grab to bait the streaming influencers. If it’s going to surpass Among us, it is up to players to decide. There are already streamers who are given early access. Among us streamers are kept fresh by some fans because of Mods but the team to gradually add new features. Now they have a competition, they need to step up to defeat the copycat.
