Please consider supporting folks in tough situations who lost things like life insurance completely unexpectedly.
If you're unable, please signal boost. Or if you're in the industry, leverage your network to help connect people to potential opportunities.
Focus on the humans
I'm going to keep sharing this, and hopefully more creators will in too. Tonight we made $815 for those impacted from the Epic Games layoffs.
So many people need help, and some people want it directed specifically, if so please note it when donating.

So it’s been a couple weeks, how’s the new Fortnite Chapter Seven settling in? I saw a lot of responses asking if people can also share what they LOVE about it - so let’s open this up a bit!
Same rules apply (see below!) but please share how the vibes are, what you’re loving, what you want to see improved, and any thoughts on the updates so far (and to come 🤭). Bonus points if you share a favourite clip or a new player story!
Housekeeping rules as before 🗒️:
* Respect others' opinions - we are one community!💝
* Keep it courteous - mute and block buttons exist!🚫
* Share any media - seeing the feedback, helps!📸
* Stay focused - keep it Battle Royale!🧠
* We will prioritise - this is still game dev, some may take time⏰
And - thank you! 🎁

This is a rare peek behind the curtain of matchmaking and ranking systems for a big live game.
Recommend for devs and players interested in learning!
Thank you, Leif.

“When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.”
A quiet ship is a safe ship.

These last 8 months at Epic have been life-changing for me and my family. I honestly can't believe it somedays.
And now we get 2 whole weeks off for Summer Break?! Feels surreal after 16 years grinding it out in this industry. So grateful.
My family had a blast with this update last night. New Hide and Seek mode is great. Continues to be our go-to for family game night!
What a cool thread to meet the talented folks behind it.

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay!
Our little Iris is almost seven years old. She loves going to the beach and on walks, and has bottomless sass for anyone that dares try to tell her what to do haha :)
She is wonderful.

I spent the last two weeks out at Epic HQ in North Carolina, getting to know and learning from some of the best designers on the planet.
It was an incredible experience and I can't wait to do it again. Thanks to everyone like Johnny who helped organize it!
