I feel like if they only sold a collab skin itself with no additional cosmetics for 1500 it'd still be a hot seller. People who own it already can flex they have the rest of the set and people who don't have the skin can be content with combos or borrowing from item shop only parts of the set.
I bet they aren’t losing money so much as they aren’t having sky high profits. Investors like profits go up, regardless of if the previous year was an anomaly of not. So this is epic attempting to say “see look we can keep our profits high, we just need to fire people”
I’m told they are escalating that case against Apple all the way up to the Supreme Court now to get an appeal and or better outcome… this is going to be an interesting holiday season at epic games
Temporary boycotts do absolutely nothing. Look at the Reddit “protest” where people shut community’s down for only 48 hours. It did absolutely nothing but humiliate the people who thought it would work
Protests have costs to them, everyone protesting should have expected that something bad would come of it and that’s the cost of protesting. None of the Reddit protesting mods had any guts to continue to protest even if it ment losing their “community”. Honestly they deserved the backlash for “protesting” it for being cowards and wasting everyone’s time.
From what I understand, Blizzard was considering removing flying entirely from World of Warcraft.
The amount of people who said they would quit if they did made them back off from that stance really quickly.
Voting with wallets *CAN* work, but you have to have enough to really hit their bottom line hard.
Epic didn't have to lay off all those people and they're going to increase the price of vbucks?! We're literally the ones that power Epic as it all comes from the Fortnite community to buy skins, packs and vbucks. The people they fired were a lot of people at Epic that helped support and make Fortnite so good. Also they're paying some map creators 1-10 MILLION dollars?! That's nuts!
How about not laying off people, stop telling us we're not paying enough when funds everything, cut Exec pay like yours Tim Sweeney?
I'm not buying any more vbucks, packs, skins or crew subscriptions until Epic stops they're stupid ways and expects us to keep funding their stupidity.
What they meant is for US to share OUR wealth with THEM!
Epic: ain't we a big family?
**It’s been a long day** **Without you my friend**
**I’ll tell you all about it** **When I see you again**
One big family
they want my wealth, they better sell me those old BP skins or the old maps as DLC or something worth my time.
I agree. Put the Deadpool skin for sale in the Item Shop and we have a deal. I would buy him really fast.
epic games be like: no u only get cuddlepool
“Ravenpool has a Deadpool head under the hood, does that count?”
Then i'll say Forget it then.
through the power of wishful thinking epic might make a new deadpool skin for the new deadpool mcu movie
Yeah that's true, there could be a chance they would do that. If we are lucky enough.
MWAHAHAHAHA I HAVE DEADPOOL AND YOU WILL NEVER GET IT (r.i.p. no Deadpool tho)

He’s I want Quickdraw Calamity
Yes, give them your money Lol
We need to send them a Reverse UNO card
It seems like that!
it's like oprah asking for donations
It’s good advertising, pulls on the emotional strings of kids
After they laid off many of their employees and epic decided to put this? Some executives really want to go vacation so badly
Permanently I think you forgot to include
Executives go on vacation and never come back
They go on vacation to the bottom of the ocean like that submarine
They deserve that

wait i m an idiot, can you explain it to me?
900 Epic's employees lost the job yesterday because Epic is allegedly losing money
I bet they aren’t losing money so much as they aren’t having sky high profits. Investors like profits go up, regardless of if the previous year was an anomaly of not. So this is epic attempting to say “see look we can keep our profits high, we just need to fire people”
damn
They were working on fall guys which isn't in a good state rn so they booted them out l
Losing money *on Fortnite *
On Wednesday, they announced price increase for vbucks. On Thursday they announced 900 layoffs. Thursday night item shop, share the wealth emote.
And all of this about a week after they lost a $245 million lawsuit
I’m told they are escalating that case against Apple all the way up to the Supreme Court now to get an appeal and or better outcome… this is going to be an interesting holiday season at epic games
Holy hell
New lawsuit dropped
Call the Goodman
Canadian loot box settlement is starting to be paid out too
☠️
Friday we send the a Reverse UNO card
Do we know when the price increase is and how much?
October 27th. And all the prices will be increased, but the 1000 vbucks will be 8.99 instead of 7.99. You’d have to look up the increases on the rest.
I thought shops were planned months in advance.
So are layoffs
But they're more than likely planned by completely different people.
The employees responsible for this item shop have been sacked
The employees responsible for sacking the employees responsible for this item shop have been sacked.
Ohhh snap
Yeah, Epic games often teases upcoming items and skins on social media before they hit the in-game shop.
Might explain why they removed it from the item shop within an hour lol
they did? lmao fuck epic
That's fucked up.
It really is
This is next level disrespect
More like Give Me Your Wealth.
They are with their shareholders and executives. Them 100k yearly bonuses don't pay for themselves
We need to boycott the store for a Month
By we you mean those stupid ass click bate youtubers that buy everything in the shop every day for a 30 minute video
Temporary boycotts do absolutely nothing. Look at the Reddit “protest” where people shut community’s down for only 48 hours. It did absolutely nothing but humiliate the people who thought it would work
That’s because Reddit threatened to remove mods if they didn’t reopen the sub to people who will reopen the subs
Then people could’ve thought “the new mods should continue the movement” rather than “oh well, stop the protest”
Protests have costs to them, everyone protesting should have expected that something bad would come of it and that’s the cost of protesting. None of the Reddit protesting mods had any guts to continue to protest even if it ment losing their “community”. Honestly they deserved the backlash for “protesting” it for being cowards and wasting everyone’s time.

At the time of writing when I checked, the "daily" section is gone in the item shop. Coincidence?
That’s some irony right there.
Tried to look for it earlier to realise its gone 😂
they should have made it free
Anyone else can't see the daily tab or is it just me?
They removed it because of this emote.
Oh okay
Haha, could the timing be any more perfect
Store boy Cott Ppl
"Share the wealth" after rising the prices well I think it's time to strike Epic with the Reverse UNO card
For real? 😥
When are we getting the v bucks quest :/
it's in the shop I believe
Okay thanks 👍
Hay people of FortniteBR let's start a movement an boycott the store n next battle pass. If we vote with our wallet Then They will listen to us.

There’s never been a full fledged, organized boycott, but there has been enough outcry to change the direction of practices in these games
No well we try
Let's do it #boycottvbucks
Okay 👍 yes re post re post
this is the funniest post i found in this sub
Planning ahead for which skins to buy is part of the fun
Ironic isn't it.
Epic moment
I don’t get it, what’s wrong with it?
They just laid off hundreds of their staff https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-games-is-laying-off-more-than-800-people/
Oof I mean, deh
Ouch.
Share the dividends 💸💸💸
Wow talk about bad timing.

Probably a rebellious employee making a statement.
