Honestly, there is no other way to compete in the current skineconomy and everyone is going to be better off because of this in the long run.
I'm not even sure if this is an exact copy?? look at the yellow arms
could be coincidence on the head and shoulder areas
Loot at the blue hair with the red/yellow headband.
Look at the blue eyes with red/yellow pupils. The golden circle surrounding them.
The white yellow shoulder pads.
The blue shirt with golden triangle and a darker blue/black in said triangle.
The gold around the neck.
That's never, ever a coincidence. Too many of even the small details add up.
Ok? Do you feel edgy and cool now?
There were once upon a time a couple little games called Unreal and Gears of WarHas Epic ever succeeded with something they haven't stolen?
Nothing short of Epic cutting the artist a fat check / royalties / removal of the skin is in ordere here, and maybe also consider firing the artist at Epic that plagiarized.
I literally saw this thread and googled this topic. It was all over a Reddit thread where people were saying that. I didn't go through their TOS. I'm just saying we should wait for facts. Quite honestly the OP should have that info. But I get that it's easier to post a thread about Epic just to rile everyone up and hop on the hate train.You should post the terms of service where it says that (not being sarcastic).
The Epic of 20 years ago this is not.There were once upon a time a couple little games called Unreal and Gears of War
i mean they steal dances I dont see why they wouldnt skins as well

I know, but to claim that Epic has never ever do something good is a bit much, and I fucking hate the new Epic lolThe Epic of 20 years ago this is not.
This is scummy plagiarism and they're likely going to fall all over them selves to justify it, or I expect them to anyway.

They have to save money somewhere with all the money-hats they are throwing around.Go easy on Epic y'all, it's not like they have the money to hire designers.
What I hate most about this is Epic has the platform and capital to actually find undiscovered or little known artists, pay them and give them actual, tangible, meaningful exposure on their store via skins. But instead they do this.
I could give a shit either way. But this culture of jumping to conclusions and without facts is bad. I'm not falling for anything. Absolutely every game with some sort of emotes and dances has stolen those. You think all those dances from other games is original? How is their entire business model stealing?Epic doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt. Their entire business model is stealing from someone else.
How stupid do you have to be to keep falling for the same shit? It's more likely you don't actually care than defenders being that obtuse.
So many hot takes...quite possible that an artist employed by epic copied the design and noone at epic realised because they can't get against every deviant art post ever made.
Lots of comments as if an entire company of hundreds of people all acted in concert to screw over this person...
That's not how it works. A complete buyout of an artistic piece rights (music, drawing, etc.) is pretty expensive and done at very little and specific cases, and the artist always have the rights of something the moment he/she creates it. It doesn't matter if someone registers it copying you, it's uploaded or not on some platforms or used on other medias. If you can prove you are the original artist, that's it.So apparently this person uploaded this to devainarts and they can sell your images. So I think this whole fuck epic thing is a little premature until all the facts come out. But this is ResetEra so go ahead and skip the facts and go straight to trashing people.

the truth is that nothing is going to happen, because this artist cannot compete with Epic's lawyers
