Mike Capps leaves Epic Games

"So, yes, I’m no longer affiliated with Epic. I have many wonderful memories, and wish my friends the best in their future projects."

john24057d ago

Well, I think most of us saw that coming the moment Mike said that he was leaving his position a couple of months ago. It took him a while, but now he's off

Abash4057d ago

I wonder whats going on? Its not the best sign when so many top people at Epic are leaving especially with a big game of their's releasing this month

zeal0us4057d ago

Well at least he's not leaving epic and moving to Zynga or similar crappy company.

nukeitall4057d ago

I do wonder what is going on at Epic, but there is still plenty of talent left at Epic.

However, if we start seeing more people leaving and nobody joining, then Epic should really start to be concerned.

Too bad, we don't get to hear the dirty laundry until years afterwards.

Bumpmapping4057d ago

Damn there dropping like flies.

Which might indicate review scores for the newest Gears game will be doing the same thing. Though hopefully not.

Didn't this all start after that Chinese company bought a major stake in them? We seriously need an answer. I don't mean to sound all entitled, but I think us gamers deserve an explanation. C'mon, let us know.

EDIT: Oh yeah, that guy has a potato head.

Kingdom Come4057d ago (Edited 4057d ago )

I don't think you're aware as to how long certain members of Epic had been working there. Cliffy B had spent a huge percentage of his life (20 years) at Epic, and wanted a break from the games industry. Rod Fergesson left to take up a higher position at Irrational and Mike Capp's stepped down last December, after working at Epic for a large amount of time so he can spend more time with his family. There's nothing suspicious to it...

Software_Lover4057d ago

Do we need a story everytime someone leaves a gaming company?

Qrphe4057d ago

We have tons of lower-quality articles everyday. At least this is related to the actual videogame industry.

morganfell4057d ago

He isn't leaving in the traditional sense.

""Mike Capps is retiring from his role as president of Epic Games to take on the ultimate boss battle of fatherhood and spend more time with his family. He will continue to serve on Epic's board of directors and advise on the development of our games. We thank Mike for the 10 years he's spent leading our studio, implementing practices that enable us to create amazing games and technology, and making Epic one of the best places to work.""

porkChop4057d ago (Edited 4057d ago )

That was back in December though. Mike Capps has now said "So, yes, I’m no longer affiliated with Epic. I have many wonderful memories, and wish my friends the best in their future projects."

So I don't think he's on the board of directors anymore as that would be an affiliation.

Edit: Yup. He left completely.

Why Epic's Win Against Apple And Google Paves The Way For The Future Of Mobile Gaming

Epic Games winning its cases against both Apple and Google is shaping the way forward for the future of mobile gaming.

shinoff218333d ago

I feel alot of mobile gamers are kids which will at some point probably turn to console or pc. Mobile gaming just doesn't cut it for me.

AlterRecs32d ago

tru dat, but i feel like it's gonna be a lot more viable for people who travel a lot or don't want to invest in a full gaming rig. Think of it as a Switch on drugs, with a LOT more room for free illegal downloads.

Apple to Reinstate Epic Games' iOS Developer Account Paving the Way for Fortnite's Return to iPhone

Epic Games scored a win against Apple as the iPhone's manufacturer is being forced by the European Commission to reinstate Epic's iOS developer account, paving the way for the return of Fortnite to the platform.

UltimateOwnage36d ago

Beh. Tim Sweeney is such a pain. He's always trying to force Apple to play by his rules. He should make his own phone, and launch his own app store there and see if he can make it viable. Options are nice, unless they're parasitic, i.e. Epic Games / CCP.

anast36d ago

"He should make his own phone, and launch his own app store."

This is the future of gaming.

jznrpg36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

I hope not I hate gaming on phones

cammers199536d ago

Sorry that apple isn't able to get away with being corrupt.

Abriael36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Imagine being on Apple's side in basically anything. 😂
