2003/2004 was so good, man!Man, I remember when Epic were the good guys. I foresee that this will be bad for the artist's cut of sales.
And joking aside, I dunno - I assume they purchase relates to the Fortnite "concerts" being REALLY profitable. They also bought Harmonix (original creators of Guitar Hero and Rock Band). Might be related to these.
Also, their previous purchases seem to slash their prices instead right after being bought. But if you ask me, it's just them trying to be loss leaders and I expect it to not last. They seem to try to become the gamedev-centered equivalent of Adobe.
Oh, and Tencent owns a good chunk of the company (I want to say 40-something%? For sure they are the second after Tim Sweeney himself). That might matter to some here, since they are a Chinese investment firm, with obviously close ties to the party.
