Product placement
Fortnite: (a) it ACTS — the creator explicitly tells the character to play it as part of the skit. Removing it would change the specific dialogue and the comedic premise of the skit. GTA 5: (a) it ACTS — the game is being played, the characters are being voiced over, and the interface is visible. It is the subject of the parody.
