I mean, I'm pretty sure they just fired or redistributed a whole bunch of fortnite devs so they can vibe code the new disney fortnite gamemode soooooo

After hearing the news of a faster launcher for the first time, I thought that they finally did something good for once. Seems I was too naive to think that.

Never underestimate Tim Sweenys ability to shit the bed I suppose.

they fired the guy who designed Jonesy

You know. Mr Joe Fortnite himself.

Imagine if ID software or Mojang fired Romero or Notch instead of them just quitting.

I do not understand the appeal of vibe coders for making anything but slop. Its like, instead of getting an architect and engineer to design a building, then build it with experienced workers, they grabbed 10 guys and a bunch of wood and brick , had them throw it all together and then waited with a notebook to take down people's complaints on what is wrong.
