Did Epic Games give enough money to the dev so we can get a new update every month?

please!??????w :D

Not how it works bucco. 1 person cant produce monthly updates along with having a life outside devving.

I'm not being actually serious, i'm happy for the guy, but with the money he can hire more people but if he wants to work alone do what you gotta do

Hiring more people is a bit more complicated then just money. But fr Lethal Company in Fortnite was sure a wild thing to see.

ehh the games files small. theres far toomany mods and ideas around. the hardest part about creation is figuring out a what you want to do first. so using a 1 dev excuse is nonsense. the longest part about writing a book is knowing what you wanna make. good example..

What are you talking about?, I could barely form a cohesive sentience from your post. Anyway 1 dev making and creating such a big game like this is hard, don't exactly get what you mean by the 1 dev excuse.

dude has definitely made enough money to hire employees to work on this and still be filthy rich. There is no excuse.

It takes more then money to hire other devs and he may not want other devs here is a ex. like creative differences can arise between them and could cause fallout, and him having a life outside devving doesn't mean he is working a 9-5, I'm talking about personal things, ex. hanging with his family ect.

good thing he has the hiring power to be able to pick and choose who he hires and have the final decision over what gets put in the game even if hes not the one coding it and making the assets. If creative differences arise, he can just decline to put what ever it is in the game or straight out fire them. Hiring people would if nothing else give him more free time for his personal life.

These people would be working for him. They will do the tasks he wants done.

If you say so man, just that he may want to be a one man but idk.

well if that's the case then he clearly doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about his community for this game. He has the means at his disposal to make things much better but is choosing not to.

His project, his vision, his way of handling it.

I don't understand why people like yourself with zero understanding of the difficulties to run a business need to step in and tell others how to do their jobs. Is it ignorance? Delusions of thinking throwing money at something magically fixes all of the problems? Failure to understand that developers are a major cost and Lethal doesn't have any other means of generating income directly from the game itself now that the hype has seriously died down?

Typical armchair devs that think because someone isn't working 24/7 and hiring a massive team of workers to finish his game, he's lazy and doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ laughable at how clueless of a take this is.

We don't need to "assume" anything when you've opened your mouth and removed all doubt.

It's an ad hominem to use your own words against you? I've heard of taking offense over nothing, but thinking that your own words are insulting? That's a pretty funny take to try throwing out there.

But when you're doing pretending you know better on someone else's project, lemme know when you actually decide to address the points I've already made. Because I really can't be asked to requote my own points that keep countering your whole "I think I know better what someone should do with their project then they do".

It's alright my sweet summerchild. You'll get there one day where you can understand that you have zero say on someone else's project and that throwing money at something isn't the solution.

But that's enough of this. Enjoy your raging about other people's projects that you paid for, knowing the developer can walk away right now and you're stuck holding the bag.

Is this a joke? I have no idea.

[HuskyDynamics]

Has anyone considered the possibility that he made the game because he wanted to make a game and have fun doing it, instead of to make a successful and profitable business?

Edit: I see that the guy who was trying to make things difficult has deleted all of his posts. Interesting.

I didn't read the whole thread, but the one dev excuse is 110% a valid excuse for not working as fast as a full team. To say it's not is kind of nonsensical. If I have one man building a boat, it's obviously going to take him much longer to design/construct a quality ship than it would for five men, even he already "figured out what he's going to make".

File size has little to do with how much work an update takes.
