did a blog post of my Thoughts on the Actual State of Unreal in 2026, how it has come to this, etc etc. i've been an unreal user since 2008, and this is the worst the vibes have ever been. is there hope? perhaps www.joewintergreen.com/absolute-sta...

I liked it, I don't think you were unjust in any way, and I think anger is perfectly justified. I worked on UE4 for a while, game artist around 2015-2020, moved away into more general art since. Reading publications post Swiney's brainfarts enrages me to no end, I appreciate seeing I'm not alone.

The other part of it is this "metaverse psychosis", or preoccupation with grandiosity. Fortnite now has to be Roblox and has to be some kind of all-encompassing place where people spend 100% of their free time. It can't just be a game. This happens all the time with tech CEOs, it's sad.
