Since we're busting out the naughty language:

and in being the industry's vanguard we have taken a lot of bullets in a battle which is only in the early days of paying off for ourselves and all developers.

FUCK
YOU.
YOU
EGOTISTICAL
ASSHOLE.

You have upended the lives over 1800 people and you have the fucking AUDACITY to still pretend you're a freedom fighter? Go to hell, prick.

Explains the price hikes in v-bucks.

Some of this has to be down to legal cases, even when they win they end up massive financial sink-holes. A lot of this must come from trying to dick over apple 5 1/2 years ago. How much money did they lose in those markets while Roblox carried on there.

Maybe it is time they need to re-evaluate their entire spending from top to bottom.

But at the end of the day there are a 1000 people who need to find new work who where never responsible for this mess to start with.

Epic pisses away money like a drunken sailor. While I was being cutesy in my reply a few hours ago, they spend tons of money on Fortnite collabs that probably aren't moving the needle much.

Epic also completely botched their mobile approach and ceded tons of market share on that platform to PUBG and Free Fire. I also don't think people realize how badly Roblox ate Fortnite's lunch in the user-generated content market. Roblox exploded in popularity about a year ago and Fortnite started a big downturn around the same time.

I'm confused (again, sorry...), because I recently read that Fortnite had the most revenue ever in 2025?

Anyway, I feel for all these people losing their jobs. But Epic becoming less relevant in the games industry would be a good thing I guess.

I'm curious if this will impact the new EGS that wasd announced a few weeks ago.

If you're talking abut the supposed $6 billion, then that's BS and probably based this Statista chart that has no basis in reality.

Fornite on it's own it's probably profitable (not at it's peak, but still managing), but if that money goes to sustain the rest of the company (and that includes all the money they've wasted in all that we know) the math does not work.

That's why businesses love to use revenue. It's a big number before all of the company expenses and fuck ups are removed.

Yeah that's the chart I saw. EGS shills have been using this chart on various occasions.
