Imagine having so much passion, that he thinks that this Fortnite season is going to be a Top 5 of all time just for the layoffs to happen 4 days later. I hope Ted is safe, but with how much of his team is possinly left, I cant imagine how he must be feeling. He actually cares.
Ted Timmins@JustTeddii
I’m going to go ahead and say how I feel. This is just my personal opinion but from what I have seen, I feel the Fortnite team have made a season where, on reflection, Season 2 will be considered a top 5 of *ALL TIME* contender when it’s over. Bookmark this! 🤝 🔖

IN THE FUTURE
YOU WILL GET FIRED BY THE JUDGE AFTER THE LAWSUIT MADE BY FORTNITE PLAYERS, STREAMERS AND EX-EMPLOYERS

In the coming days, employers will see a stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality folks. An important thing to understand is that Epic never lowered our hiring standards as we grew, and the layoff wasn't a performance-based "rightsizing" as companies call it nowadays. It's a sound bet that anyone with Epic Games on their resume is in the top few percent of their discipline.

FORTNITE IS DOOMED TO FAIL NOW. Every major important developer story writer etc behind it mostly are gone…
Ted Timmins also quiet and were scared either he is also gone, or lost passion to work in epic for obvious reasons
ONLY WAY TO SAVE THE GAME:
- Spread #FireTimSweeney and never stop talking about how he is the cause of one best games ever being ruined
Or devs losing their livelyhood for nothing
- STOP PLAYING UEFN, the most major thing that caused all this chaos is UEFN. Clearly Epic Games and Tim Sweeney is not willing to make this idea work in a morally right way
Then don’t support it? Why play something that is making Fortnite not exist anymore
IF YOU LOVE FORTNITE. NEVER TOUCH UEFN AGAIN❤️
I forgot who made this picture but its so funny

BRO STOP LURKIN TWITTER AND FIX YOUR COMPANY 😭

I’m not calling anyone specifically but quitting the Fortnite community at a time like this is not the right choice right now. We need everyone together now more than ever to speak out against any controversial decisions Epic Games makes. We as a community will only strengthen

@Silverxsx - TIM SWEENEY GETS FIRED BY THE JUDGE AFTER THE LAWSUIT MADE BY FORTNITE PLAYERS, STREAMERS AND EX-EMPLOYERS

The DOWNFALL of Fortnite is happening…
- The game is changing too fast and too much, to the point where it feels like a money printer (too many new cosmetics, too many game modes…)
- Fortnite is spamming collaborations to drive more sales
- Fortnite brought back OG characters and lore in hopes of bringing OG players back and making more money
- Fortnite increased V-Bucks prices because they apparently need more money, while paying out millions monthly to “brainrot” maps
- Fortnite has laid off over 1,000 employees, including many who helped shape the game into what it is today
It is too obvious now. It‘s about the $
As much as I like this game, their decisions have led us to where we are now & it‘s not looking good.
The release of GTA 6 is likely going to make it even worse ✌️

Matthew Johnsonm, who worked as Lead, Principal, Senior Game Design, got laid off today
He was the lead person behind Ch7 DBNO Ragdoll and Driveable Reboot Vans
"Using Unreal I built and shipped challenging new gameplay features for Fortnite. I was feature lead and primary IC for the highly acclaimed Drivable Reboot Van Vehicle and Down But Not Out Actions in Fortnite: Chapter 7, including movement mode extensions for player ragdoll movement, dodge-rolling, and mantling. As the primary vision holder and feature owner, I coordinated with all dependency teams: including art, production, engineering, QA, and product development to ensure we shipped high quality features that would drive engagement and evolve Fortnite: Battle Royale."
