But we saved everything 🙂.
Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney commented that the recent layoff at the company will result in a ''stream of resumes of once-in-a-lifetime quality folks'' entering the employment market. Sweeney clarified that the job cuts were not performance-related and affirmed that Epic maintained its hiring standards as it expanded. He noted that the layoff should not be seen as a typical ''rightsizing'' move that some companies associate with performance. The statement arrives amid broader industry scrutiny of workforce reductions in the U.S. technology sector.
Sweeney has previously highlighted Epic’s technical reach, noting that Fortnite players collectively hold 30 gigawatts of computing power. The company has also implemented direct payment features in the U.S., offering up to 20 percent savings on in-game purchases. These initiatives reflect Epic’s focus on both its player community and operational efficiency.
