    Tim Sweeney’s brain should be studied. It’s impressive to be consistently wrong about everything and still think you should be in charge.

      It’s not difficult to understand. Decades of getting things right makes you think you’re always right about the future.

      Let’s not forget he’s not just some appointed CEO. He’s the founder, he’s been running it since 1991. Before the Fortnite billions and the EGS exclusive issues, Epic was beloved because they made a solid engine you could use for free until you earn enough to pay royalties and they gave out grants to game devs (yes, grants, not investments). Literally the only difference between him and GabeN is that he let the success go to his head, whereas GabeN realized he has a golden goose and killing it would be idiotic.

        Wish I could do that. My brain also deserves the same study, because I constantly make (made) the worst possible investment decisions. Main difference is, I never failed upwards. if I did, I would be the owner of an incredibly successful investment firm.
