    Don’t sue Steam until they release their hardware plz… at least the controller. I just want the controller.

    You don’t have to like Fortnite or even Epic to sympathize with 1,000 people losing their livelihoods.

      Honesty depends on what they did at the company. Devs and support staff working on making games? Sure. MBAs and marketers working on monetizing and exploitating consumers? Fuck em. Sounds like this mostly affects Fortnite and live services, so oh no, anyways.

      🤣🤣🤣🤣 so you think 4 months of pay, health coverage, and accelerated stock options all while retaining ability to use Epic as a reference and no non-compete to deal with as ruining lives. Sign me up for whatever life you are living because if this is what qualifies as ruining your life then it means you must be pretty fucking high up the totem pole to look down on this.

  I bet it’s awkward being an employee at Epic with a Steam Deck.
