Opinion - Fortnite's heart died today ✏️ "I’ll miss [working on] Fortnite Battle Royale," one Epic employee said after being laid off. It’s estimated that over 1,000 workers - roughly a quarter of Epic Games’ workforce - were laid off today. In the coming days, there will be many questions about Fortnite’s future. A future that will almost certainly look different without so many of the people who helped build it. Just to name a few: - Christopher Pope, a Battle Royale Design Director, said they’ll “miss Fortnite Battle Royale, but I’ll miss you all most of all.” In the replies, another employee said Pope had been making plans for the future of BR “mere moments” before being laid off. - Evan Kinney, the principal engineer behind Fortnite’s earliest live events, Replay Mode, and systems like the Rivalry feature. - Paige Dugre, art producer for Chapter 6 Season 3, the Simpsons mini-season, Chapter 7 Season 2, and collaborations like KPop Demon Hunters. Earlier this month, Jonah Kettman, a QA engineer on Fortnite Festival, defended Epic’s decision to raise V-Bucks prices, noting that “the quickest way to lower expenses is layoffs.” Kettman was laid off today—less than a week after paying a $4,000 vet bill for their cat. - Devin Connors, a community manager at Psyonix, widely respected within the Rocket League community. - Nik Blahunka, a lead writer behind many of Fortnite’s defining stories since 2017. - Vitaliy Naymushin, character art director who helped shape icons like Jonesy, Ramirez, Penny, and Kyle. Fortnite is the people behind it. And today, many of those people are gone.

I just want to let you all know beforehand, Fortnite will most likely never be the same again following the decisions made by Epic today. This is playing out just how things went in 2023, price increases & layoffs within a short time. The game took multiple years to recover from this, and not only has that work just been reversed today, but we have gone even farther back than this. This is most certainly the worst thing to happen to Fortnite and maybe even Epic as a whole, and even if it manages to recover, it won't be the same. But regardless, we are likely going to enter a dark period pretty soon, which I think we'll begin to see the effects of around the end of this season. Many important core people, such as @evankinney and @SteveDanuser, were also laid off today. Steve Danuser is a MAJOR part in why the story has finally become good again, and Evan has played a huge part in basically all of epic's season launches, live events, tournaments etc. And that's just a couple, about a quarter of Epic's workforce was laid off today. Epic has even begun to shut down underperforming modes, as Festival Battle Stage, Ballistic & Rocket Racing will all be shutting down this year. This is all in favor of the metaverse, an idea that has been proven time and time again to be unhealthy for the game. This is all in favor of paying creators of maps like Steal A Brainrot or Crazy Red VS Blue as much as 50K A DAY. If Fortnite continues doing things the way they are now, the end might not be as far off as we all want it to be. Hopefully they're able to realize their mistake in time and fix this. If not, I really hope every single Epic employee affected by the layoffs is able to find a good job, and I wish them all the success they deserve. And to the community, please do not let this go. Do not stop pushing for Epic to do something about this no matter what. If you do let this go, nothing will change.
