It manipulates a psychological phenomenon called \u201close by a little, win by a lot\u201d. It is the same phenomenon applied to another popular game- Candy Crush. King, the gaming studio, made sure that players lost the rounds only by a few moves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Recommended Reading:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/mp.moonpreneur.com\/blog\/fortnite-addiction\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help Your Child Overcome Fortnite Addiction<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, when the players win, King showers the winners with truckloads of winning points and gifts. This policy enabled Candy Crush to make as much as<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> $8,50,000<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> every day.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Basically, when you lose the game by a minor margin, it will compel you to play another round because you are just a couple of moves away from winning the match. On the other hand, when you win the game by a massive margin, you get that adrenaline rush to keep playing and cracking a few more levels.<\/span><\/p><h2 id=\"2\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><b>Your Losses are Minor, and Wins are Humongous!<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Even if you have all the shields on and have full health, then, too, the HP will be deceptively low. Also, the map is way too large. So, on average, you may have to indulge in just 4 to 5 rounds of gun fights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The game developers ensure that each gunfight keeps you on the edge of your seat. The moment you lose a fight,\u00a0 the first thought that pops up in your mind is that you could have won the fight easily. And in case you win a gunfight, your rank will increase exponentially. In the hope of increasing their rank in the game, players continue to play without any pause or rest.<\/span><\/p><h2 id=\"3\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><b>A Few More Factors that Keep You Hooked to Fortnite!<\/b><\/span><\/h2><h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>1) Appealing Design<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-50934\" src=\"https:\/\/mp.moonpreneur.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/appealing-design.webp\" alt=\"Appealing Design\" width=\"777\" height=\"445\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The intuitive design of Fortnite gives a feeling of being on a real hunt.
