Yeah Fortnite is the first one I at least saw it be present in, I know it goes back even earlier, but it made it popular, at least it worked though since it was a free to play game, once games started making you pay for it, on top of making you pay for the game already, it became more annoying, like Black Ops 4 had a battle pass, but it didn’t cost anything since you already had to buy the game.
