Sad to see. I haven't played Fornite but it's obvious that there's talented people working on that, I really dig the visual style and would prefer that over anything realistic any day of the week. I hope they'll find new jobs really soon, they deserve it.

Today’s layoffs

Epic Games
@kenney but this is the reality of live service games. The hype will be gone someday.

@kenney I've been playing it since 2017 and I abandoned it last year. The people in charge don't know what the hell they're doing, as always, and the poor developers pay the price.

The game is just an absolute mess of disparate conflicting licenses, an increasingly messy and dreadful front end, and a dilution of the player base across too many game modes.

Not to mention the rewards for playing are getting worse and worse and worse.

Game is a shit show now through no fault of the devs.
