Epic's Financial Future: Crafting a Decade of Strategic Growth
Epic's New Financial outlook
Epic has a plan for the rest of the decade, aimed at enhancing its financial resilience. Just over a year ago, Epic Games laid off around 16 percent of its employees to align with its ambitious goals. As Epic CEO Tim Sweeney stated, the company had been spending far more than it earned, making these cuts necessary.
Unreal Fest Highlights
During the Unreal Fest conference in Seattle, Sweeney announced that Epic is now financially sound. This pivotal statement marked the beginning of an engaging two-hour keynote that included updates on various projects like the Unreal Engine, the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and the Epic Games Store.
Strategic Spending Review
Sweeney emphasized that decreasing expenses was crucial to achieving financial stability. “Last year, before Unreal Fest, we were spending about a billion dollars a year more than we were making,” Sweeney noted. Now, the company has refined its expenditures, spending only slightly more than it earns.
