Hey,
when I was a teenager I used to play UT 99.
I was the proud owner of a UT 99 GOTY edition.
It was the time where ISDN just replaced the 56K modem and the first DSL lines came up. As a newbie and a constantly busy phone line, you didn’t notice the 350 ping at first.
Only weeks or months later, when you met again in mIRC for gaming, you knew how important a good ping is and a small clock next to the screen to time the shield every 55 seconds…

Tim, I know that Fortnite is an economic boom for Epic.
But are you sure that UT 4 can be left behind?
After all, “Unreal” is the game that brought the big success.
Even your good engine is called “Unreal” engine.
Unreal is Epic’s foundation.
And i still remember the good times, when we played Unreal on a 3DFX Voodo 2 graphics card…

That’s why I don’t understand why you don’t care about the further production of UT 4. Don’t do the same as Valve is doing with Half Life 3…

Epic is doing well, you have the possibilities to set up a new UT team and then actively build UT 4. After all, we older people have to show the younger generation what “true” e-Sports is And true e-sports was UT 99 and UT 2003.

Thanks!
