...in being the industry's vanguard we have taken a lot of bullets in a battle which is only in the early days of paying off for ourselves and all developers.

Look, at least a little bit of that is true, but fuck right off.

At least it's a good severance package. They owe their employees at least that much.

"We're so sorry to have to lay you off"

wipes tears with fortnite billions

I loved this part of it... "This isn't our first time being here. Epic survived upheavals in 1990's with the move from 2D to 3D with Unreal 1; in the 2000's building console games with Gears of War; and in 2012 moving to online gaming with Paragon and Fortnite. Each time, we rebuilt our foundations and earned a renewed leadership position."

TLDR "Epic will survive, but your job won't. So sad."
