Epic Games releases $12 million worth of Paragon assets for free
- Thread starter Silky
- Start date
Good on them and for the creators. I'm surprised not a large number of corporations do this with cancel games.
Someone will probably make a better Paragon than Epic did.
Until that same person gets a smell of that BR Bux and cancels that game too.
Epic's handling of Paragon is pretty unprecedented, while its unfortunate the game is ending, its amazing they're doing what they can to refund their customers for all purchases made and now releasing their assets to be used. Its pretty damn amazing, good on Epic.

Man, this is kinda getting me hyped for epics NEXT real game after fortnite. It'll probably be more than a decade from now but damn, epics back on the map, seemingly bigger than ever. Can't wait!!
because they dont have a reason to. Epic has an engine to sell
You best believe. That platform is so ripe for promotional opportunities if more companies released assets of games.
Wow this is incredible, what an awesome thing to do!
Thanks Epic Games, for making such an awesome engine and being soo cool!

Right I know Tencent got money money money, but between this and refunding all Paragon purchases, just how much fucking money is Fortnite actually making them? My nephew was playing it during the weekend for ages and never once came to me saying he wanted to buy some microtransaction shit, unlike FIFA and Ultimate Team.
Epic's money comes from engine licensing, so they can write this off as support expense. hell, nowadays, their games are just testbeds for new technology
they barely put out games now. does anyone even play their new mobile game?
They're making right now like a gazillion dollars with Fortnite.
The character designs range from fairly generic to pretty cool.
I checked out the game a few weeks ago just to see it before it disappeared and thought to myself"it's nuts that all of these character designs are just being thrown in the trash bin. I just hope Epic looks into putting some of the skins in their Unreal Tournament 4 alpha as skins"
And here we are with something better. Good on you Epic.

So I can hope someone remakes my most played game of this generation?
Hope this is what it means. If they released all of the assets, then they couldn't sue for copyright....correct? Or am I way off?

They just insisted that Battle Breakers and SpyJinx are still coming and will get new announcements soon.
I mention this because Epic's GDC conference is very soon.
I feel sorry for the devs who put their heart into Paragon development. If it was released earlier and had a better pace of game, it could have done really well. Glad they've found their ground with Fortnite though.
Lol, all these people who never played Paragon giving props to Epic for this when they lied to the paragon community for years. But strategically, this is a good move by Epic so i have to give them credit.
That's pretty neat though. I'm sure this wouldn't happen if Fortnite wasn't literally printing money for them, but it's cool.
I wonder if this is a tax write off kind of situation?
Also here comes a bunch of Rule 34 and Asset Flipping titles on Steam lol.
