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.
i have done so much for this company and our games
so many late nights
so many weekends
so many live events, and competitive events, and new features, and new seasons
solid performance reviews every time
with multiple people mentioning how critical i am and what an impact i make across multiple teams
just to be thrown out
i don’t get it.
