Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is facing intense criticism after a controversial post on X followed the company's decision to lay off around 1,000 "Fortnite" employees.
In his message, Sweeney described the affected workers as "once-in-a-lifetime" talent and suggested that companies would soon receive an influx of highly skilled applicants from Epic. He also added that the layoffs were not performance-based and that Epic had maintained high hiring standards throughout its growth.
