@muselk @Fortnite @Blizzard_Ent You know what else they had the courage to do? They gave Mercy jiggle physics. #Fortnite #Overwatch

NO SHOT THEY UN-NERFED TRACERS BUTT! Finally @Fortnite with the courage to do what @Blizzard_Ent wouldnt. The world needs heroes.

And now my all- time most popular tweet is about tracers ass. As it was foretold…

@GoonBrick1 @Fortnite @Blizzard_Ent Na bro you get ingame and run around. You'll see. Altho with a name like that... im guessing you've maybe set yourself some unrealistic expectations...

@muselk @Fortnite @Blizzard_Ent I believed in you... Is only the pose. They somehow made her ass worse

@alphabinkyy @Fortnite @Blizzard_Ent Your tweet is honestly the most cringe thing I’ve seen since they nerfed tracers ass.

@muselk @Fortnite @Blizzard_Ent I forgot how cringe this community is jesus christ

@TinyManiacYT @Fortnite @Blizzard_Ent It takes what I consider the BIGGEST thing in gaming (in several ways) to bring me back

@muselk @Fortnite @Blizzard_Ent he came out of the woodworks for a tracer butt comment 💀

Alright alright GIVE ME A WEEK! And If I havnt shown a bit of what im workin on THEN you can be mad. Could even lead to... MAKING A VIDEO🤯

Welcome to the island @PlayOverwatch

@hooshen_ You and @Matthew_Palaje would like eachother

🐺🔥Animated static meshes inside Niagara… in UEFN. Using VAT (AnimToTexture) to drive a running wolf as a Niagara particle, fully working within UEFN validation. This took a bit to figure out, but it unlocks a lot of new possibilities for VFX and gameplay systems 👀 Comissions Open! 📩

@SirDustyDirks Because right now the circle J sentiment is “Fortnite game bad, awful mess, UEFNs fault”. You don’t need facts for people to say dumb stuff!

I have played Fortnite weekly for 7 years. My experience overall has been that it’s extremely polished. I have no clue how it could be perceived as a buggy mess

Honestly FANTASTIC question. And I really love you saying "idk where I stand myself" because thats whats missing too often these days. I also dont fully know where I stand on a TON of aspects of this. There are lots of parts, like what you've mentioned which are REAL and valuable points, around the focus and 'identity' of Fortnite. And thats part of my frustration, is that there are REAL things to discuss and protect for the benefit of Fortnite. At the same time, there are also equally real facts that just flat out disprove the argument of Epic 'spending money' on UEFN instead of Fortnite. That its an expense. If I buy a briefcase which has $10,000,000 inside it for $100,000. Did I 'waste $100,000' on the briefcase? OBVIOUSLY NOT. Actually the opposite. If I DIDNT buy the briefcase then Id be MUCH poorer. This is literally the UEFN fortnite example. Right now Epic gives 13-14% of its total revenue to UEFN. But it accounts for 45-50% of players. They literally almost 4x their money. Thats also more money to spend on Fortnite BR. But the other part you said I really love. How to avoid Fortnite just becoming 'roblox' where the game has no identity and is just a sea of random crap like Roblox. Thats a REALLY good point. And thats why the discussion should focus on that. Basically, I think theres no question that in the long run, almost all games fizzle and die. And without UEFN that would happen to Fortnite BR. With UEFN it keeps new players coming in who then revisit/try BR, and keeps it alive. It also ensures they can keep funding BR. Ultimately Epic has a good incentive there because from Battlepass to 'events' to a million other things, its super valuable. But making sure that stays the case is important. And if you really care about BR then thats what you focus your discussion on. Like you, I also dont know all the answers to everything. I dont know exactly whats going to be right/wrong. But I do know that just lying about the 'cost' of UEFN and pretending its the problem for everything you're grumpy about isnt going to help anything. I think thats why Its just so sad to see.

@muselk @ScyanYT even fully know where I stand myself.

still wild to me

Brother I havnt made a video in a year. And I've made more than Ill ever need/ ever be able to make again. I actually have zero motivation around making new money. I also dont even have any maps that exist rn? The only maps I've ever made are classic deathruns. Im just really passionate about both Fortnite, and game development. And bad faith arguments are only going to hurt both. There is real criticism to be made about a million things. Parts of Epic. How Fortnite is developed. What maps the algorithm encourages. But its just hilariously disrespectful when, while claiming to be outraged and saddened by so many developers losing their jobs at Epic, at the same time be pushing a narrative which he knows isnt truthful around the 'cost' of UEFN, which encourages a bunch of OTHER developers losing their jobs. It would be like there being a bad Fortnite season, or bad Fortnite update, and me calling for all Fortnite developers to be fired? There are so many jobs at stake both in UEFN and Fortnite, and so much creativity and passion on the line that its just disrespectful and disgusting to keep shouting stuff like this, while at the same time, still avoiding giving any explanation or answer to the point I keep making. Which is that UEFN brings in 45-50% of players. But costs 14% of the revenue. So in no way is Epic 'losing' money by it existing. They'd be poorer, with less money for Fortnite if it didnt. But despite acknowledging that, and not having any denial of it, continues to just push the lie that it does. Its just sad. If someone really cares they dont base their perspective on lies. If someone really cares about developers they dont lie to try and create a narrative that will cost their jobs. If someone cares about Fortnite they actually take the time to inform themselves and make sure their perspective is correctly formed. But maybe its all engagement farming which at this stage is the only explanation I can see. Most people are too insecure to admit when they've made an error in their opinion anyway.

@muselk @ScyanYT "Stop attacking the company that pays my bills!"

I’m not saying it’s against UEFN devs personally. But your argument starts with “Epic made bad business decisions which financially screwed them”. What you’re suggesting would lower Fortnite’s total revenue by at least 30-40% instantly. That would mean INSTANTLY another 1000 developers being fired. So just be honest about that fact in your argument. You can make the claim about UEFN muddying their focus, and I’ll respect that. But be honest on numbers. If the goal is to find the truly correct path forward.

my argument is not against uefn people its the fact that i dont think epic will listen to me nor u guys, how they proved me they cannot be trusted with an idea like UEFN, cause higher ups mindset over it is horrible If 3 years was not enough to change higher up mindsets to do it the right way? How am i supposed to trust they finally will do the right thing now If something is hopeless to me i prefer it gone. Its not hopeless cause uefn devs, its hopeless cause Epic Games higher ups have a very horrible mindset over the idea

Society if UEFN dies and doesn't exist anymore

@JAM1984855 @ScyanYT But it ISNT. Unless you're arguing that 50% of the players. All of those. Dont spend any money in Fortnite? Epic has MORE total money because UEFN exists. So the argument that "its the reason they cant afford developers" is just factually wrong.

@muselk @ScyanYT Well that 14% has resulted in Epic giving UEFN creators over 722 million dollars so far. Thats a bit too much if you ask me. I dont care if UEFN has about 46% of players playing it, if its at the expense of firing employees then i don't agree with it.

FORTNITE COMMUNITY Would u like it more if UEFN was removed from being focus. And instead we get return of many new LTMs like good old days?

@ScyanYT @PlantasticPrime @ANormalGamerSim Bro UEFN people have been complaining the EXACT same? And again. If your argument now is just "Im angry". Then thats fine. But then stop lying about the COST of UEFN being the reason Fortnite made LESS money. When you havnt been able to give a single reason thats true.

UEFN has been out for 3 years and epic never ever listened to how BR players do not want anything related to UEFN shoved into their faces And rather these 2 experiences stay separated. If epic is not willing to play things right, and instead plays it Microsoft style by force feeding people UEFN, just like how microsoft force feeds people Copilot Then i want it fully gone. Epic had 3 years to listen to people and do this the right way They have lost trust. They do not deserve me giving them another chance to do this the right way. They had 3 years and entire community shouting at them

@ScyanYT @PlantasticPrime @ANormalGamerSim So again. UEFN means Fortnite makes more money. Means that for the last 3 years Fortnite has had MORE money to spend on world building. Movies. WHATEVER YOU WANT. You're implying that they're taking developer resources from Fortnite for UEFN? BUt again thats wrong.

billions of dollars wasted on metaverse, could have been spent on making forts own core much bigger Could been spent on making a movie to introduce more people into the game like fallout did Could been spent on new proper mods only 2 of them no more, 1 based on story of game, 1 extra pvp mode that more fast speed like a deathmatch style for side fun If they put those same resources to evolve forts own franchise and core instead. I believe the game would been miles more popular rn yes UEFN is something we already have, Roblox. In gaming u need to make something unique to thrive Like how unique Fortnite itself was when it released

Right. So even if HALF of all players in UEFN maps would jump STRAIGHT into BR and stay just as long. Then UEFN would STILL be worth it. Your argument right now is basically "Epic can buy this bag containing $1m, BUT THEY'RE SPENDING $140k TO BUY IT, IDIOTS". The maths is just COMPLETELY wrong. After 8 years. Players disengage from ANY game. Regardless of development. Fortnite updates more than ANY game. I know you've gone in deep on UEFN hating. And I get you initially probably didnt know the 14% reality. And that changing that perspective publicly now is hard. But surely you see that theres really zero way to justify the argument? If anything you're just hurting Fortnite more. Because Epic is making mistakes. But you're throwing your anger at the one thing that is 100% NOT the mistake.

@muselk @zakinwplays not 100% even more people will play Fortnite, ur not thinking about how if all the resources wasted on metaverse was spent on Fortnites own core instead, develop the games own franchise The game would been a gta6 level empire, not losing play time every year
