    What’s this business about Epic changing from a game developer into a ‘platform’ and him no longer being a good fit? Anyone able to explain that a bit?

      I have to imagine it is related to the claims that they are gonna retool “Fortnite as a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators” and the acquisitions they have made of platforms related to user created content.

          Well you know the maxim that every new innovative transport solution by big tech is just “trains but worse”?

          Fun fact about metaverse initiatives…

          Yes, but you arent stuck learning lua to design games. Straight pipeline to corporate development.
