Seems like it’s even worse than that
31ReplyThey seem to claim it was all an innocent mistake:
@EpicPublishing We are looking into this and the team will be reaching out to you directly.
22ReplyNot replying to the dev's messages and not paying them for 2 years is not an innocent mistake.

Yeah, they only announced to reach out in the future after bad press.
18ReplyWhy not? Dev's email might have ended up in the spam list and no one ever saw their emails. Shit happens. All the time.

That's because Epic doesn't have any money
17ReplyWhat're you even talking about??? Epic takes a revenue share of every game made with unreal engine, plus Fortnite runs exclusively on mommy's credit card and is still insanely huge. Even if the epic games store doesn't take as big a cut of every sale, they're held by daddy Tencent who'll probably kick em some lunch money if they're actually desperate.
15ReplyJust because you make a lot of money doesn't mean you can't spend it even faster.

Got to love the fact that Hatoful Boyfriend and Fall Guys are made by the same developer. I'm assuming those do not have similar market share. /s
3ReplyJust waiting for people to come in here and bash the dev for still being on Twitter.
