Staff at Epic Games have reportedly been told that they are to use generative AI to create all art for an upcoming Disney shooter title featuring characters from Marvel and Star Wars. As reported by Bloomberg (via VGC), Epic’s developer teams were instructed to go full-on AI-first in a video call last week. The move […]

Seriously, who the actual f*ck is this Epic?! They are completely unrecognizable from the Epic Games that made the first 3 Gears of War games, let alone true original Epic MegaGames. I would say that I won't ever spend a penny on their products ever again, but I haven't even paid them money for a game since probably Gears of War 3. But they care not, cuz they don't even sell video games, they only have two real products: Unreal Engine 5, and Fortnite. Both make them a sh1tload of money. Although no one should be using crappy-@ss Unreal Engine 5. But TV/movie production studios use it now, so that's even more licensing money coming in.

Tim Sweeney went off the deep end long ago. I prefer John Carmack leaving the industry completely than Sweeney staying in the industry but turning into whatever the f*ck weird-@ss creature he is today.

Epic is a f*cking joke now, but they still get to exist and be financially successful, while poor id Software, who still makes actual real video games, and designs and optimizes engines the way it should be done, was used and abused by Bethesda then Microsoft, before being basically gutted, and all but ceasing to exist. Apparently the play with Asha Sharma is to gut and basically destroy one of the most technologically-advanced studios in the entire game industry, who shipped 3 successful games with standout technology in the past decade. Great plan there lady. Can't wait to see what you do next.

I think Epic started going downhill the moment they launched Fortnite and the Epic Game Store. It was all downhill from then on.
