Your New Overlord 🍉

For a game that’s magic has always come from the amazing authentic human art behind it all, these skins should concern anyone who sincerely cares about Fortnite. If Epic Games are willing to turn AI generated art into skins, who’s to say they won’t start relying more on AI generated art to create original cosmetics going forward? It doesn’t matter if these skins were 3D modeled, they still relied on an AI art for its concepting stage. Seeing this stuff in-game is actually so disappointing & disgusting. Like I had said before, it’s an insult to all the incredible artists who’ve worked on this game and all artists in general.

Principal Engineer - Laid Off Narrative Director - Laid Off Lead Writer - Laid Off Character Art Director - Laid Off Design Director - Laid Off Social Media Admin - Laid Off Seasonal Engagement Director - Laid Off Lead Concept Artist - Laid Off Senior Concept Artist - Laid Off Sr. Tournament Operations Manager - Laid Off Creator Marketing Director - Laid Off Senior Game Producer - Laid Off And SO SO SO much more integral Epic Employees were laid off. Yet somehow Tim Sweeney has the audacity to say that Epic's vision is now clear and that now they need to "build awesome Fortnite experiences with fresh seasonal content, gameplay, story, and live events." Is that not what was already being done? You literally GOT RID of almost all the people who were doing exactly that and getting this game back on track??? Epic's entire HR has to go too. Unbelievably incompetent people. I really don't know how some people can just see all of this and still think there is a way of recovery for this game without all these integral people working at Epic anymore. I don't want to doompost and say it's the end of Fortnite, but things are just looking so awful.

Because of Tim Sweeney: - The Fortnite Metaverse was rushed and resources were stripped from the storyline & events - Donald Mustard retired from Epic Games - 1,000+ Epic Employees were laid off in September 2023 - Fortnite's story suffered greatly from the lack of resources - Billions of dollars were spent fighting Apple & Google and Tim joked about it causing financial problems in the future - UEFN creators were, for no good reason, paid almost $800 million dollars in the past year - On March 19th, V-Bucks prices were increased and the amount we received was reduced - 1,000+ more Epic Employees were just laid off today Every time we even reach a potential high for this game & things look good for everyone, Tim Sweeney manages to bring it all down. He is the ROOT of all the problems with Fortnite & Epic Games in recent years. ALL OF THIS happened because he thought Fortnite can be just like Roblox and it took him FOUR YEARS to realize that it can't be. And only after he had done SO MUCH damage to both this game & the company. I genuinely cannot believe how someone can be so stupid. Again, I am so heartbroken for all the employees who were laid off today. Not a single one of them deserved this. They put so much love & care into this game only to then be laid off. I truly wish them the best moving forward. Try and support them as much as possible, along with the employees who weren't laid off either. It's taking a toll on all of them.

When will this community finally start pushing back on Tim Sweeney and demanding his resignation? HOW MANY MORE STUPID DECISIONS does he have to make for this community to finally start doing something? Tim Sweeney is RUINING Epic Games & Fortnite as a whole. He has caused nothing but CONSTANT problems for this game & the company in recent years. He NEEDS to go. Due to his stupidity, 1000+ employees were laid off because of overpaying UEFN creators three years ago. Now it's just happened again. 2000+ employees over the course of three years were laid off because Tim Sweeney is overpaying UEFN creators and making stupid financial decisions. And the majority of that money went to AI BRAINROT SLOP MAPS. I am outraged at Tim Sweeney and absolutely heartbroken for all the employees that were laid off today. NONE OF THEM deserved that. Tim Sweeney rushing and pushing the metaverse & UEFN in the first place is what led to this game having a low period for a while and now after all the damage this idiot has done, he's finally realized that none of it was worth it. We need to all start taking action and using our voices against Sweeney, because the future of this game depends on it. If we keep letting him get away with all of this and not retaliate, then everything will go downhill and it will likely be worse than before.
