Prince Harry has made himself very clear: he does not like Fortnite.
Prince Harry expressed his utter distaste for Fortnite,Kali Hansa one of the most popular games in the world right now, at an event at a west London YMCA, BBCreported Thursday. He went so far so to say he thinks the game shouldn't be allowed in the UK, where his family lives in a handful of lavish palaces, castles, and estates.
"That game shouldn't be allowed," the Duke of Sussex said about Fortnite. "Where is the benefit of having it in your household?"
SEE ALSO: We hired a game tutor to get better at Fortnite. Here's what we learned.Fortnite, a free-to-play game, became very popular after its Battle Royale mode blew up in 2017, gaining millions of players in a very short amount of time and becoming a craze that dominated the world of video games for months. In it, players compete either solo or with teams on an island with 99 other players to be the last ones standing.
Like with any kind of popular game that takes the world by storm, parents have become concerned that their children are getting addicted to Fortnite, claiming that it has adverse effects on their social lives, mental health, and physical health.
"It's so irresponsible"
Prince Harry, who has made mental health a central part of his charitable work, echoed these concerns, saying that letting children play Fortniteis irresponsible.
"[Fortnite]'s created to addict, an addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible," he said. "It's so irresponsible."
The Duke continued, saying that Fortnitewill lead to the destruction of families.
"It's like waiting for the damage to be done and kids turning up on your doorsteps and families being broken down," he added.
While it's important for families to maintain healthy limits on things like gaming, it seems like a bit of a stretch to say that Fortniteis breaking down families and should be banned.
As has been pointed out by some, Fortniteis more than just a game — it's a means by which people, including children, can be social and "hang out" with friends.

Playing Fortniteor other online games with friends is an easy way to spend time with friends without actually needing to leave the house, which is a pretty enjoyable prospect for kids who can't just leave the house whenever they want.
While some people may develop unhealthy "dependencies" on video games, or spend too much time playing them, Fortniteis not creating an epidemic. It's merely one of many ways that people interact with the world using technology, and it happens to be a fun and popular one.
It's easy to point at something and call it a problem. It's just been done with video games so many timesyou'd think people would find a different scapegoat.
Perhaps Prince Harry could try playing it sometime.
