Dear @Fortnite , we recently lost a legend to many in Fortnite communities to cancer, one is Avxry’s. One of skin he wore a lot was Tigress outfit and the Chompy Stompies. Is it possible to immortalize him in reload with a gold statue in a poi that says LLAT(Long Live Atrain)🕊️
Longtime college friend of mine, Mike Prinke, was among those laid off at Epic Games: he has been fighting terminal brain cancer, and now he, his wife, and kid, have no income or health insurance.
Sharing here in hopes it can reach the right people on their behalf.

@EpicNewsroom You’ve paid UEFN creators more than $720,000,000 but then claim you don’t have money to pay your own employees and developers? You guys have no shame.
today has been a whirlwind of emotions.
thank you, genuinely, to everyone that’s reached out to me today (a former coworker even sent me a milkshake). i’m still going through them all (and will continue to do so). reading how much you all appreciate my work has been so surprising and uplifting on such a shitty day.
i’m really, really going to miss making cool stuff happen for our players. that was the guiding principle behind everything i ever did.
seeing how many of my former colleagues are as confused as i am about my departure is definitely validating too.
i’m very grateful (and thankful) to also already have many studio leads and recruiters reaching out about roles they’d like me for.
i’m gonna go grab a beer and watch the rest of the canes game. 💚🦖
