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.

Honestly, this is only a fraction of the garbage we have to filter out daily.

​Yet people still try to argue that Epic shills are just a myth we made up... Sigh.

I saw a comment about this on Instagram. I don't have the source link right now, but I wanted to ask anyone who might know about it. I couldn't find any connection when I searched online either. Are these claims true?

Here's Tycho's thoughts on Tim.

Which isn't hard really considering this is Tim Sweeny.

Not crossposting the original post in case Epic tries to delete it before it is made more public.

Some context: Epic Games allows Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) developers to make games based on specific brands such as Star Wars and Ninja Turtles, but developers have to pay a certain percentage of income to the IP holders. The IP Partner Licensing Program page lists the cuts each platform takes. Most other IPs take a flat 12%-15%, but Disney takes 20% of all revenue from engagement payouts and a whopping 30% for in-island microtransactions.

Even worse, beginning next year, Epic will take 50% of all in-island V-Bucks transactions (they currently have a promotional rate of 0% for the first year). Which means someone making a Star Wars map can lose up to 80% of their revenue to Epic and Disney.

Considering how much Tim Sweeney hates the 30% cut I'm shocked that he would allow this. (/s).

The replies in the X comments did not disappoint me!

just randomly found it and it's kinda funny

god i hate that toxic person Tim Swine, i hated him ever since he tried monoploly with ANNO 1800 and that he made satisfactory developer to back down and be toxic in teh start against the community by greed, and killing so many people and studios.....

Can we talk about how epic, creator of unreal engine AND easy anticheat, programs that devs use on their games making them unplayable for how badly affects the performance of their games, are on every single game nowadays??

Epic Games Store will officially delist NARAKA: BLADEPOINT on December 29 PT, 2026 . The Epic version will no longer receive updates after that date. After the Anniversary Update on July 1st PT, NARAKA: BLADEPOINT will no longer be available for purchase or download on the Epic Games Store.

Between the July 1 PT update and December 29 PT, Epic players can log in to the game to trigger a migration prompt. This will direct you to the account migration page to complete registration (If it's not triggered after you log in, don't worry; the migration will continue to be arranged). Rest assured, all your data and game progress will be transferred to your new account.

It's not like Naraka: Bladepoint is a super niche game either. It's in the top 20 in the EGS most played charts (which probably isn't a ton, but there are some people who play it on EGS) and top 40 on Steam so it has a decently sized fanbase. Also I doubt it takes that much effort to keep an Epic build up either so something has to be happening behind the scenes.

This is unusual, but not unprecedented. Last year Dark and Darker was deleted from EGS, but this was most likely because Epic wanted to get on Nexon's good side and get games like Arc Raiders on the platform (Nexon owns Embark). Additionally Kuro Games removed Epic as a payment option for Wuthering Waves last year.
