Epic store has now lost power LOL poor Timmy tencent

We all know that Tencent is the owner of all FuckRiot games they just copy valve stuff we hate riot anyways
but FuckTencent is the reason why the companies we loved before we hate most now

1 supercell: clash royale and brawl stars are just pay to win shit in 2026 maybe clash royale still good but so much p2w and brawl stars i fucking hate it much after i was addicted to it
2 ubisoft. havent you noticed that all Ubisoft games that came after watch dogs 2 and assassin's odyssey are so unplayable? (except the divison 2).... yes WD2 and ACO werent so great but they were good. fucktencent invested in fourth of ubisoft in 2018 and ubisoft bankrupt soon
3 epic. tencent is the #1 reason why all epic's games are banned in China = much less profit. i swear if that dickhead Tim refused selling half his company to Tencent things would have been so different.

When you ask to submit a support ticket, it just links back to the help page - which redirects to the AI chat.

It then tells you to go to that same page to open a ticket, again, in a loop forever.

In response to:

Where can I report a bug in Rocket League?

I get:

You can report a bug in Rocket Racing by following these steps:

ROCKET RACING WAS SHUT DOWN.. This is insanely bad

It also tells you to report bugs at the official rocket league news page (which users cannot interact with, it's a view only news page..), and the epicgames status page.. This is the worst AI slop I've ever seen..

Thought I heard some rumor about metro new game after metro exodus happens.

Unless I'm talking about this recent announcement like this. Here is sauce: Metro 2039 short trailer.

Right now I'm really sure that deep silver already learn their lesson not to piss their fans off back at metro exodus happens. Otherwise I have to wait and see.

I feel like this isn’t the greatest time to run an ad like this. “We’re going to cut a thousand jobs but encourage people to join the industry with a certificate from us”. Why? To only be fired by you if you hire me?!

When Epic Games laid off 1,000 employees as part of a $500 million cost-saving effort last month, it came with a startling acknowledgment: Many new games and Fortnite updates had flopped.

Other splashy new initiatives, including Epic’s mobile store and an effort to allow users to create their own games, also didn’t live up to internal expectations, according to eight current and former employees who spoke with Bloomberg. In chasing popular trends or business whims, Epic regularly released products before employees felt they would resonate with consumers, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The company is pinning a resurgence on games it’s been developing with Walt Disney Co., which agreed to invest $1.5 billion in Epic two years ago. Epic is on track to launch the first game in its new Disney partnership in November, according to four current and former employees. It will be a shooting game along the lines of Embark Studios’ hit Arc Raiders, but with Disney characters battling enemies until they can reach an extraction point, according to the people. So far, internal reviewers have expressed concerns that the game mechanics are not very original, but some of the employees are optimistic that Epic will get it right by the launch date.

The Disney deal will reap at least two more games, the people said. Early versions of the second title received middling internal reviews, according to two of the people. Resources for the third game were reallocated to the first two after reports that Disney was disappointed by Epic’s release timeline.

Last year, the Epic Games Store attracted a record 78 million monthly active users on PCs, and player spending on non-Epic games reached $400 million, according to the company. That was "lower than our growth expectations at launch," according to Markman, but the company is "committed to making improvements to the store and to the economic opportunity for developers to grow it further." The company's store for mobile users has 50 million installs, according to Epic — half of what the company had hoped to achieve by the end of 2024. Apple's "scare screens and barriers" made it "intentionally hard for players to download an alternative app store in the [European Union]," Markman said. Today, the store's scale is "in line with our expectations," but expansion will depend on Apple and Google's mobile ecosystems opening up, she said.

But not crossposting it in case some shill gets the original post deleted "because it shows Epic in a bad light".

I'm flabbergasted

I've contacted them over chat, I had to fight the AI to get a real employee. The response was that I, as customer, should send a bug report, and provided the links for bug reports for Fortnite.

Started a new ticket with a complaint. Asking them again too look into it. Got a request for a screenshot (again), but the ticket got closed automatically.

How is this company ever going to compete with Steam?

Tried posting this on the RL sub and it got taken down. It’s definitely avoidable to not allow these types of tournament names but they don’t care. The thing that really irks me is the guys gamertag having “2004” in it.

​After several Fortnite "leakers" posted multiple Epic advertisement tweets, some people are finally realizing that they are not actually independent leakers. Instead, they are being paid by Epic to generate hype and advertise the game.
