Earlier this month, we reported on the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) investigation into online antisemitism , with a particular focus on Holocaust denial. In its report, the ADL gave Fortnite the lowest rating, an F. For reference, this is lower than other games such as Call of Duty and League of Legends , and even lower than social media sites like Twitt
For this reason, Bernard tells me many companies rejected the idea of a game about the Holocaust. Even if a storefront was willing to carry the game, that wasn’t always enough. "Steam was not a good option because of how bad moderation is," he says. "I knew we would get bombarded with antisemitic commen
You don’t need the ground to gain the high ground. Ascend to the jungle’s canopies and fire high from above! When you get back on the ground, find some mud for a clean (but also not really clean) geta
This Mythic has two entirely different functions: It can be used to hover in the air, and it can shoot homing missiles. Both of these abilities individually are useful enough for it to be one of the top crossover weapons, so together they make for one of the best Mythics in the g
However, the methodology isn’t the only reason Bernard believes organisations like the ADL need to change the way they approach the gaming scene. Frankly, he feels that they need to speak to Jewish game developers who are already trying to tackle the issue head
"We work with many major companies, individuals and groups to address these urgent issues in gaming. We are committed to working with the game industry both in public and in private to address the urgent issues of antisemitism, hate and extremism in online multiplayer gam
We’ve seen this most recently with Adin Ross, who started displaying extremely transphobic and misogynistic beliefs after discovering Andrew Tate’s content online . Following the pipeline, he recently met Donald Trump . He even almost hosted a stream with Kanye West while he was praising Hitler and advocating violence against Jewish people, though eventually backed out after claiming West was directly antisemitic on a phone call to Ross, who is himself Jew
When it comes to the latter series, the crossovers just keep on coming. There are dozens of Star Wars skins in Fortnite, and you can play as characters from the prequel series, original trilogy, and sequels. You'll even find characters from some of the shows on Disney+. That makes for some really great Star Wars skins in the g
However, Jewish game developer Luc Bernard disagrees with this assessment. Having worked with Epic to release his game about the Holocaust, The Light in the Darkness , Bernard says the ADL’s report is "extremely harsh", and fails to accurately represent the issue of antisemitism in the gaming community - something he has been fighting for some t
It only makes sense that he would join Fortnite battle pass along with the other Star Wars skins. What makes him one of the best is that his bundle included The Child, also known as Grogu, in his hovering capsule as a pet item . This skin was an immediate reward upon purchasing the Chapter 2: Season 5 Battle P

Fortnite has featured many kinds of grappling hook items. There are even a few other crossovers that give wielders the ability to swing around, such as Spider-Man's webs. What makes the ODM Gear special among all these options is that it has extra functionality. You could just use it to swing around the island to your hearts content ( taking as many twists and turns as the final season of Attack on Titan itself did ), but it's also quite effective in combat, as it boasts a melee sword swing that can lock onto opponents from a
Eventually, Bernard managed to release The Light In The Darkness on the Epic Games Store . This free-to-play educational game follows a family of Polish Jews in the Holocaust. Based on real-life stories, it aims to keep the history of the atrocity alive for the next generation. It also brings the fight against antisemitism into the gaming space - a place where extreme bigotry can often thr
The trouble with using it, however, is that it takes up all five inventory slots. It's arguable that you didn't really need any other item in your inventory once taking hold of this mighty sword, but it's vital to bear this heavy restriction in m
Though it is a popular beverage in Monkey Island, it is also one of the most volatile things known to humanity. The drink is meant to test a pirate's mettle, as it can be made with the likes of Kerosene, Sulfuric Acid, Acetone, Battery Acid, Pepperoni, or a number of other horrid inclusi
Right out of the gate, Bernard says his experience with Epic was different. "It felt more like Epic pitching to us than the other way around," he says. "They told us about their experience at the US Holocaust Museum and how important it is for people to know about what happened in history to fight antisemiti
