Disney Not Buying Epic Games 'Right Now' But Is Planning More Collabs
(insider-gaming.com)
The monopolisation continues
I wonder how the fight with Apple would play out if Epic was owned by Disney.
disney, one thing at a time. fix your disney + hemmhoraging money mahcine, slop generator first.
That's exactly where spic games will end up, as the gaming industry crawls towards playing on their remote hardware and renting that space.
Epic games is probably an ideal candidate to buy if this is your expectation for the industry AND you own streaming giant.
Apart from gaming, Disney has been using Epic’s Unreal Engine in a product called StageCraft, where a virtual set is rendered on large, extremely high resolution LED screens forming the backdrop and ceiling of a set, as an alternative to chromakey with blue or green screens.
Most people have probably never heard of StageCraft. It is usually referred to by the actual stage implementation, The Volume.
Sounds a bit concerning. Whatever Disney touches tends to turn to shit. It’s sort of like a reverse Midas touch, but with extra Disney flavor.
Does epic games even have any good games?
It’s mostly the same selection as steam and gog.
More referring to games made by Epic and not the game launcher.
fornite apparently.
Fortnite remains #1 by revenue in the US and Europe, while the main game's average critic score is 84. So by the global metric, not only is it good, but superb. Personally, I really liked Rocket Racing but that was shut down due to low engagement.
