Was for almost 1 hour, I think. Still have the DC. Probably because installed it when I found out that's not supposed to happen and maybe they can't remove something already on the PC. Or just got extra lucky and nobody at Epic noticed me. Surprised

NEWS: Epic Games, the maker of Fortnite and Unreal Engine, is laying off a whopping 16% of employees (or around 900 people), sources tell Bloomberg News.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-28/epic-games-is-cutting-about-900-jobs-or-16-of-staff

Epic boss Tim Sweeney says in email to staff:
- "For a while now, we've been spending way more money than we earn"
- Fortnite Creator profit margins not as big as Fortnite was
- 870 jobs eliminated, but Epic is still hiring
- No more layoffs planned

Sergiy Galyonkin, SteamSpy creator who helped launched the Epic Games Store, has left the Fortnite maker after eight years

https://twitter.com/galyonkin/status/1708836762716398033

This dude was shitting all over steam for being a shitty store that he could improve alot when he was doing steamspy. 8 years later egs is functionally still a store that lacks features or improvements.Acting like all the good things EGS brought or the W's are just because of him which I kinda doubt.

Anyhow things seem to have to change with epic.
*No blockbuster game giveaways
*layoffs
*getting rid of the "Director of Publishing Strategy" who clearly tries to distance himself from the upcoming Epic 5.0.

We'll see what time will show.

He also shed some light on the business decisions that led to the company making unexpectedly significant business shifts in the last week. Apparently Epic Games began running into "financial problems" about 10 weeks ago, meaning that the company was facing some sort of financial downturn from late July through September.

Evidently, all of Epic Games' business had been "heavily funded by Fortnite" in the last six years, and different parts of the company became "disconnected" from their revenue streams. It adds some context to previous comments made by Sweeney about the impact of declined Fortnite revenue—if the company's signature game had started to not turn a profit, other parts of Epic Games may not have easily been able to make up for declining revenue.


ouch?

Nah, Epic's plan is not as unhinged.
Per seat pricing for is not unheard of in the industry (biggest quoted example: Photoshop) and it won't affect game devs.

Unity wanted money for every install, but don't worry: they would totally track demos, free and pirated copies and "malicious installs". Source "Trust us, bro" Very Happy

tbh that would be the most logic thing plus they imo need to stop free game giveaways.
