Just maybe we should think about make a "UT-like" (not exactly but fast-paced shooter without huge vehicles) mod or something instead of "wasting" time on the game that Epic does not seem to care no more.
I'm so right there with you!
Tencent owns 48% of Epic Games

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

I am sure GD/LD can be found but where to find programmers who have time for free work.
So, just a thought.
I had no idea such a large chunk of Epic Games was in the hands of another investor/owner.
Everything that's been happening over there over the last 12 months or so starts to make sense now.
Can't be easy making creative, or business decisions when someone else owns half the company, so I can't say I'm surprised to see some of the original guys jump ship.
Damned shame though - Epic Games were my heroes for many years and the only reason I'm in this industry right now.
How times have changed.

You must be kidding
That's the reason...+1
We just don't know atm if it is a good or a bad thing, that's the point...but Epic is no more the Epic we used to know ...

Wow, it has been a while since I have posted here.
I do feel that for a company to continue to exist and grow, new blood needs to be transfused into the company.
While I have fond memories and nostalgia of the old times, I guess there is a fact of life now that things have moved on from there.

It's never that simple. And this isn't new blood by having great artists came in, it's quite the opposite, it's blood letting.[SAS]Solid Snake;2586059 said:
I'm not convinced that it will make a difference either way nor that if it makes a difference, it will be bad. It isn't as though UT has been flourishing under the management of the old regime. The last version was UT3 which was a complete disaster and the company does not seem to have considered producing a UT sequel ever since. How much worse could the situation get?

It's way less than that in reality - signing over half your company in exchange for access to a market is somewhat foolhardy.

49% is over half?
And yes, I know the actual consumer base in China isn't going to be the full 1 billion(technically ~1.3 billion), but even if they can only reach a quarter of China's actual(1.3B) population, it's still more people than the population of the entire US
