      Doubt they are folding. It’s probably one of those “fire these people so we have bigger income on next quarterly report” kind of schemes.

        Maybe someone’s bonus depends on it. Someone who’ll probably move to the next company for the next quarter.

          Or that. There are certain CEOs who give themselves millions in bonuses after firing 5000 developers, then complain they can’t find good workers.

      I doubt they’ll fold anytime soon, but they’ll probably cut back spending where they can, and the writing on the wall is already there based on the quality of the free games offered lately. Next week is like “Overcooked: Cannibal Edition”

        My husband was a producer at epic for 8 years. He got cut yesterday. We’re not even exercising our stock options, imho tim is spiraling and epic isn’t going anywhere good. Going to the supreme court isn’t cheap and then there’s that abandoned mall they bought 🤷‍♀️

          I’m very sorry to hear your husband (and you) got the short end of all of this, I hope he can find a position with another company soon!
