Feels like Epic should shoulder some of the blame here as well, considering they allowed the fossil fuel company in the game at all. Fuck both of these companies.

Epic is just full of bad decisions, they just had to find one that isn't a money pit like their store or bought exclusives.

If only they just focused on Unreal Engine, because Unreal does go hard.
