Thinking of everyone at Epic who was impacted today.
Layoffs are never easy. Behind every role is a person, a teammate, a friend, and someone who helped build experiences that have reached millions of players around the world. That impact does not disappear overnight.
To those who lost their roles, and to those who are still there feeling the weight of losing teammates in your day to day, I am truly wishing you strength as you navigate what comes next.
Just some of my two cents.
This industry is incredibly tough.
As developers, we are constantly trying to keep up with rapidly changing player behavior, shorter attention cycles, and an environment where success is never guaranteed. As business owners, the reality is just as challenging. Balancing rising costs, unpredictable returns, and the pressure to sustain teams in a space that is evolving faster than ever.
Two things can be true at once.
This hurts deeply.
And building in this industry has never been more complex.
Moments like this are a reminder of how fragile and competitive this industry is, but also how important the people behind it are.
To those impacted, I truly believe your talent will find its next place. This industry moves fast, but great people always find their way forward.
Sending all my support 💜
