Hello.
I had a question. is epic games officially partnering with the USA army.
according to these news
if any of epicgames official would answer
thanks.
Hello again.
can somebody please answer? if it would be from Epic officials I would be thankful.
I want to start my career on marketplace and this is crucial for me to know.
The announcement at I/ITSEC seems pretty clear. SoarTech is doing government military contracting, EPIC is not.
Although I can’t quite understand why a partnership or not would matter at all to a Marketplace submission. Is this related to a “I will never work for the US military!” personal choice?
Hello.
Thanks
Yeah I am a muslim and I can not work with those who are contibuting to usa military [because they are on war with Muslim countries]
I just want to know the epic games official stand on this:
Do they respect muslims and condemn those wars?
are they helping USA military / government in a way or another?
[This is really crucial for me. I just wanted to work on marketplace and wanted to work with those who respect my religion]
Seems pretty clear to me. They are in a partnership meaning they are probably developing some virtual reality or simulation game stuff for the US military for their training.
I can understand why you have a problem with that, though I find it ironic that you don’t want to use Epic products because of a US military partnership, but not because they are partners with Tencent / the chinese government, which is commiting a genocide on a muslim population (the Uighurs).

I think you are very unfriendly. Have you seen this with your own eyes? I welcome you to come to China for a walk and take a look. You only need to abide by the basic laws and local customs and habits.
buddy, you know perfectly well that independent reporters are not allowed into the camps, stop pretending there aren’t grave human right crimes happening: China’s genocide against the Uyghurs of Xinjiang, in 4 disturbing charts - Vox
btw as we speak right now Taliban is killing and raping civilians in Afghanistan. but no one talks about it cuz US is the onc that’s evil blablabla

Yeah pretty much, but I think we should stop the political offtopic talk, as otherwise this will be getting locked / deleted.

I was about to post the part of the User License for UE4 that says not for use with gambling, live combat (sim and training would be okay use), nuclear, aircraft navigation, etc. BUT now all of these things have been removed from the EULA.
Well a game engine does have uses as to military simulations and such and not unusual for an engine designer to have a partnership with such organization. Co-Op from the engine developer is a must have even for a small development team or a big company like Disney
Gaming in the military is not something new and as far as simulations goes they invented the genre.
For example.
First Unreal Engine is a free product to download by anyone on the planet…including army
Second if the US Army wants to do some realistic game to train pilots comand dorins or whatever even if UN does not want or wants I think there is no to discuss wit USA army…
Tird If the US military uses this UN it means that the UN is good!!!
Four Unreal Engine receive a military upgrade super positive for us users in log turn
Five Star fleet General Order 1 No starship or peronal of the fleet may interfere with the normal development of any alien life or society.* Translated into our mortal language… Mind your own f##### business!!!
I don’t see negative things in the thing honestly there are many companies that have become a big fat brand thanks to the collaboration with the army
Wow, that is seriously disappointing. Though not suprising, considering that Epic breaks that rule themselves with their Fortnite lootboxes.
