No matter how corrupt you think Africa is, it will never get to America’s level of corruption in 5000 years.
They are bringing fake guests on TV now to lie and defend evil policies. Ultra level deception.
This is exactly how they create bots and sleeper cells to in other countries to defend American aggression against “own” countries.
Thinking Lurkers is a negative term is perfectly in-line with how Dan Clancy has been running Twitch.
Many many Lurkers aren't actually counter as viewers because Dan here thinks that to be a true viewer, you gotta be active. You gotta be engaging with the chat instead of just enjoying your life and watching them. If you just watch, you're a.. *shudders* Lurker.
Lurkers are the backbone of Twitch and basically all streamers. Stop treating them like shit when they're 90% of the viewers on Twitch.
Genuinely what in insanely out of touch response to this whole situation oh my god
You bin off so many insanely talented developers and people who contributed in such insane ways to your game because of horrible mismanagement and horrible long term bets
Just to turn around and say oh it'll be fine! They have epic on their resume! They'll get a new job in mo time at all!! Just fucking insanity
FORTNITE IS DOOMED TO FAIL NOW. Every major important developer story writer etc behind it mostly are gone…
Ted Timmins also quiet and were scared either he is also gone, or lost passion to work in epic for obvious reasons
ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE GAME:
- Spread #FireTimSweeney and never stop talking about how he is the cause of one best games ever being ruined
Or devs losing their livelyhood for nothing
- STOP PLAYING UEFN, the most major thing that caused all this chaos is UEFN. Clearly Epic Games and Tim Sweeney is not willing to make this idea work in a morally right way
Then don’t support it? Why play something that is making Fortnite not exist anymore
IF YOU LOVE FORTNITE. NEVER TOUCH UEFN AGAIN❤️
I forgot who made this picture but its so funny
Because of Tim Sweeney:
- The Fortnite Metaverse was rushed and resources were stripped from the storyline & events
- Donald Mustard retired from Epic Games
- 1,000+ Epic Employees were laid off in September 2023
- Fortnite's story suffered greatly from the lack of resources
- Billions of dollars were spent fighting Apple & Google and Tim joked about it causing financial problems in the future
- UEFN creators were, for no good reason, paid almost $800 million dollars in the past year
- On March 19th, V-Bucks prices were increased and the amount we received was reduced
- 1,000+ more Epic Employees were just laid off today
Every time we even reach a potential high for this game & things look good for everyone, Tim Sweeney manages to bring it all down. He is the ROOT of all the problems with Fortnite & Epic Games in recent years.
ALL OF THIS happened because he thought Fortnite can be just like Roblox and it took him FOUR YEARS to realize that it can't be. And only after he had done SO MUCH damage to both this game & the company. I genuinely cannot believe how someone can be so stupid.
Again, I am so heartbroken for all the employees who were laid off today. Not a single one of them deserved this. They put so much love & care into this game only to then be laid off. I truly wish them the best moving forward. Try and support them as much as possible, along with the employees who weren't laid off either. It's taking a toll on all of them.
When will this community finally start pushing back on Tim Sweeney and demanding his resignation? HOW MANY MORE STUPID DECISIONS does he have to make for this community to finally start doing something?
Tim Sweeney is RUINING Epic Games & Fortnite as a whole. He has caused nothing but CONSTANT problems for this game & the company in recent years. He NEEDS to go.
Due to his stupidity, 1000+ employees were laid off because of overpaying UEFN creators three years ago. Now it's just happened again. 2000+ employees over the course of three years were laid off because Tim Sweeney is overpaying UEFN creators and making stupid financial decisions. And the majority of that money went to AI BRAINROT SLOP MAPS.
I am outraged at Tim Sweeney and absolutely heartbroken for all the employees that were laid off today. NONE OF THEM deserved that.
Tim Sweeney rushing and pushing the metaverse & UEFN in the first place is what led to this game having a low period for a while and now after all the damage this idiot has done, he's finally realized that none of it was worth it.
We need to all start taking action and using our voices against Sweeney, because the future of this game depends on it. If we keep letting him get away with all of this and not retaliate, then everything will go downhill and it will likely be worse than before.
"If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease. I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world."

I'm sorry but I just can't take this seriously.
They found a way to save about $500 million in costs...when they're paying out:
• Steal the Brainrot -- $24 million
• The Pit - $30 million
• Go Goated! - $31 million
• Bedwars - $11.7 million
• Piece Control 2v2 - $20 million
Just these 5 maps ALONE have made $116 million in revenue, one fifth of what they saved by cutting costs today. You can imagine how much more they pay out if you decided to go look through some more maps. I'm all for paying creators and rewarding us for keeping players engaged in maps, but when it comes at the expense of Fortnite's budget and the livelihoods of 1,900 employees, they should be the priority...not these maps. Insane...

All the damage Tim Sweeney has done to Fortnite:
- Cause Donald Mustard to leave
- Take all storyline resources to focus it on “Metaverse”
- Putting more focus on collabs
- laying off 900 employees cause “epic losing too much money”
- meanwhile:
. Waste billions fighting apple and google
. Waste millions on making epic games store just to attack valve
. Waste millions on side modes
. Waste millions to give UEFN people instead of your own developers
- for 3 Chapters UEFN and Metaverse become main focus overshadowing Fortnite’s own core
- Was thinking about changing Fortnite name for a bit until backlash
- Over promising on every aspect and under delivering
- Highering vbucks prices cause “we need to pay bills”
- lays off 1000 employees AGAIN
Meawhile:
- Still making disney and metaverse modes
- Still paying millions to UEFN people, even ai generated things or BRAINROTT. And there is more collabs in Fortnite rn than ever before
Tim sweeney is an example of when a person is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of their goals, even if the goal is idiotic and stupid
Willing to sacrifice your own developers, your own gaming community for it.
Nearly 2,000 layoffs in less than 3 years and not a single person from the leadership team has been affected or voluntarily stepped out. These outcomes are their failure and their failure alone.
Some of y’all saying “it’s not the end of the world” is so weird. It’s completely dismissive & makes you look like dogs on leashes to EpicGames. It’s always praised to speak our opinions for bad decisions, but the moment we do we are overreacting. Incredibly toxic
i'm glad to see there's at least some big creators that actually speak out against all of this, this change is not okay and epic should not be able to get away with this. so thank you @CouRageJD and i hope your friends also join in on this 🙏
