This 78-year-old grandmother has an insatiable lust for violence (in Fortnite)
Cath Bowie, a 78-year-old grandmother from Scotland, has become a popular Fortnite streamer and earned a Guinness World Record as the oldest female Fortnite streamer on Twitch. The article presents her enthusiasm for the game as a challenge to the idea that gaming and livestreaming are mainly activities for younger people.
Bowie began playing in 2017 after watching her grandson and now streams under the name “grumpygran1948”. She has built an audience of more than 24,000 followers, sometimes streaming for up to six hours a day, and says she particularly enjoys eliminating opponents rather than simply securing a victory.
