After almost 8 years, my time at Epic Games has come to an unexpected end. It’s hard to put into words what an incredible journey it has been, but I’ll try in this 🧵

Epic Games will have a company meeting tomorrow to discuss the roadmap for Fortnite and Epic Tim Sweeney said Fortnite now needs fresh seasons, gameplay, story, and live events. The next generation of Epic Games is planned to start at the end of the year with "huge launch plans"

When will this community finally start pushing back on Tim Sweeney and demanding his resignation? HOW MANY MORE STUPID DECISIONS does he have to make for this community to finally start doing something? Tim Sweeney is RUINING Epic Games & Fortnite as a whole. He has caused nothing but CONSTANT problems for this game & the company in recent years. He NEEDS to go. Due to his stupidity, 1000+ employees were laid off because of overpaying UEFN creators three years ago. Now it's just happened again. 2000+ employees over the course of three years were laid off because Tim Sweeney is overpaying UEFN creators and making stupid financial decisions. And the majority of that money went to AI BRAINROT SLOP MAPS. I am outraged at Tim Sweeney and absolutely heartbroken for all the employees that were laid off today. NONE OF THEM deserved that. Tim Sweeney rushing and pushing the metaverse & UEFN in the first place is what led to this game having a low period for a while and now after all the damage this idiot has done, he's finally realized that none of it was worth it. We need to all start taking action and using our voices against Sweeney, because the future of this game depends on it. If we keep letting him get away with all of this and not retaliate, then everything will go downhill and it will likely be worse than before.

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.

Great moves by Microsoft!

Peterbot says the Chaos Reloader is the only thing stopping this season from being perfectly balanced in competitive... Should it be vaulted or nerfed and left in?🤔

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.

Steve Danuser has been affected by the layoffs too He's one of the reasons why we got The Seven, TLR and other characters returning back in the BR story.
