Conclusion
Fortnite × Dumb Ways to Die is a carefully considered homage to online culture, re-presented for the battle-royale generation.

For more casual players, the pack is an inexpensive cosmetic buy. To analysts of online partnerships, it illustrates how game publishers are casting a wider net for IPs that they partner with.
