In contrast, the current Battle Royale popularity can be seen as more directly tied to streaming and specifically that streamers playing with subscribers is a way to move units for people on the fence and the use of fancy items by streamers often leads to smaller in game purchases of cosmetic items. For a lot of folks Let’s Play and Streamer content has replaced other gaming journalism sources.

At the time of this post D2 has 1,400 viewers, the division has 1,800 and fortnite has 63,000.

Also, it's worth noting that Fortnite has MTX, but the PvP portion of the game is entirely free and MTX's are 100% cosmetic. PvE is not free, and you have to buy the game to play it.
