Recent industry news doing the rounds is from Epic Games, who yesterday publicly shared an email that was sent by Tim Sweeney about laying off 16% of the company.
Yeah they could stop giving away free games in a weak attempt to get people to use their shitty sub-par service. That probably costs them a good bit.
The only games on Epic I “own” are the free games I’ve cared enough to grab… and I still have opened Epic exactly zero times to play any of them. Pointless.
That was exactly my first thought. Getting exclusives and giving out free games is not cheap. Epic brought this on themselves and like any corporation they’re punishing their employees during downturns.
What if they just stopped doing that instead of firing people?
