Episode Synopsis

Epic Games is being TORCHED online after CEO Tim Sweeney and senior staff DISMISSED outrage over the assassination of Charlie Kirk.Instead of condemning people CELEBRATING a murder, Sweeney doubled down—quoting the First Amendment and blasting Clemson University for criticizing the rhetoric. He claimed it wasn’t political… but let’s be real. He was DEFENDING people mocking a killing.It gets worse. Epic Games Trust & Safety member Bruce Knapic piled on—mocking conservatives, sneering at Chris Pratt for offering condolences, and even calling for ICE employees to be “named and vilified.” This is someone in charge of PLAYER SAFETY at Fortnite.Epic Games isn’t just some random studio. They run Fortnite, with hundreds of millions of players—many of them kids—and they own Unreal Engine, the backbone of the gaming industry. And THIS is the behavior their leadership thinks is acceptable?This is a disaster. It’s not just bad PR—it’s a look at how out of touch and arrogant gaming’s biggest companies have become.👉 Should Tim Sweeney and Epic Games be held accountable? Or is this free speech gone way too far? Drop your thoughts below.#EpicGames #Fortnite #TimSweeney
