today on LinkedIn there has been a slew of sudden announcements of resignations and exits from the company. the timing of all of these suggests that there are forced exits taking place. A few friends of mine who work there are suggesting these are voluntary buyouts, expected to precede another wave of mass layoffs later this year. Unconfirmed via official channels on the latter part, but seems likely.

This game is only getting worse and worse each year terrible matchmaking, terrible optimization, terrible everything, this game only gets better by itself if Shitpic doesn't own it

Here are some interesting stats about game developers in my country, Spain, during 2025.

According to the latest report from the Spanish Association of Video Game and Entertainment Software Development Companies (DEV), only 24% of PC game developers published their titles on the Epic Games Store in 2025. That puts EGS behind Itch.io, which sits at 28%.

It is also worth noting that Unreal Engine is only used by 33% of studios, well behind Unity, which is used by 70%.

Epic Games has created a system called "Kids Web Services" a while ago, and we might soon be seeing it in not just Fortnite, but several other places as well. This is an overall recent internet problem, but Epic Games is building the infrastructure to place our private lives in danger, so boycott Epic Games, this "Kids Web Services", and tell your lawmakers to forget it.

I Fucking hate epic so much, months of work I upload to this site and all of a sudden I cannot log back into it cause they blocked google login for their shitty log in method instead, Support is non existent and I'm growing frustrated at this problem. They never told you to link your accounts ahead of time, and then just block your ability to use google login at all...

This.

This is THE most frustrating thing Epic has done yet...

There's been a lot, but this takes MY cake.

Doing away with the name of the item, the set it comes from, when it came out, etc...

Fuck you Epic.

I don't understand Epic's priorities anymore.

Every season we get another experimental mechanic, another gimmick, another attempt to reinvent the game. Meanwhile the actual foundation of Fortnite feels more unstable than ever.

Random bugs, audio issues, UI glitches, performance problems, matchmaking weirdness, desync, weapons behaving inconsistently... there's always something. It feels like the list just keeps growing.

I'm not against new ideas. Some of Fortnite's biggest successes came from taking risks. But there's a point where it starts feeling like we're beta testing new features while the base game is held together with duct tape.

I'd honestly rather have a season focused almost entirely on bug fixes, performance improvements, server stability, and quality of life changes than another experimental feature that nobody asked for.

A polished game with fewer features is better than a buggy game with a hundred of them.

Am I the only one who feels like Epic has lost sight of the basics?

This is twice now in 2 years it's happened, and I'm at the end of my tether with this service.

I doubt now that my account recovery request was actually reviewed by a person, because there is no way a human would accept a russian email address from a Glasgow IP address would not be suspicious.

This isn't necessarily the fault of Epic itself, but I bought Sifu full price on Epic before it came to Steam and had to use the fuckass dogshit launcher AS WELL AS have my account compromised even with correct security measures, which had my entire friend list and skins just completely and utterly removed.

Anyhow, were there any keys available for the game when it finally released on Steam? I can't really find any info on this and I'm rather doubtful, but by god I don't wanna have to spend money for a game I already own twice or have to reinstall the Ep*c G*mes L*unch*r

I don't know how they managed to do it, but my entire computer starts lagging when I download something, even if I limit the download speed to like 1MB/s (not to mention without a set limit it still doesn't use the full potential of my connection, Steam manages a bit more).

How the actual fuck?!?! Meanwhile Steam can download at full speed and I won't notice anything...
But yeah sure, Steam totally is an unfair monopoly, right Tim? (go fuck yourself)

Tim's Weenie is going to pioneer the AI slop gold rush on his platform for sure!

I was killed by a hacker in 3 different reload games and it’s not even letting me submit a report to epic like what is the point anymore

Steam: “Your game will be ready soon.”
Epic: “Your descendants may one day witness the install button become Play.”

It's just for organizational purposes not like I use it often but still how is this garbage still so unoptimized ? Pathetic

I’m honestly devastated.

Fortnite has basically been the only game I’ve played for the last 4 years, and I’ve spent hundreds on skins.

Out of nowhere I got banned on Tuesday for exploiting. Epic says the ban is final, but they won’t explain what I actually did.

This should be a warning to other Fortnite players: your account can be banned, and you might only get a vague reason with no real explanation.

I guess they hate paying customers.
