A month after approving the free play of certain old Unreal games, Fortnite creator Epic Games has publicly recognized and thanked a community of fans who've been working to keep them alive with updates for years.
Just last month, Epic gave a big thumbs up to free versions of Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament – two classic first-person shooters that form part of Epic's Unreal series – that are now available via the Internet Archive. At the time, a spokesperson told PC Gamer that "people are free to independently link to and play these versions," so needless to say, it's supportive of players trying these old gems without spending a penny (not that anyone could these days, with them being delisted). However, it's extra heartening to see Epic now give a shoutout to the OldUnreal community, which offers more than just links to free game downloads.
