Unfortunately you are right.
I see too many bad signs of something going on that is not right regarding Epic Games overall here with UE4… too many bugs in the code, delays on the marketplace, less employees replying to questions and so on.
I really hope Epic Games is not going to be sold to some other group due to financing issues all of a sudden like it keeps happening to many bigger and smaller companies in the IT industry which might be a nightmare for anyone like me developing a project with UE4 and spending money on the marketplace for assets because a new owner could easily shutdown everything or change license terms and anything else…rarely it happens that things become better and the worst case scenario mostly applies.
