Epic Games Has Bought ArtStation and Cut Artist Fees On Its Online Marketplace. Is This Good?

epic games has bought artstation

I sort of assume whenever a fucking monstrous entity swallows a smaller one that it’s fucking bad news. That said, apparently Epic Games is going to lower the fees that artists had to pay while selling shit on ArtStation. So, like, that’s good? I don’t know, man. All I do know is that I’ve seen some fucking dope-ass art on the site, and I hope this shit helps out the folks producing it.

‘Alan Wake 2’ reportedly in development with Epic Games publishing. Don’t fuck around with me on this one, fellas

alan wake 2 epic games publishing

Could it be? Could we finally be getting Alan Wake 2? I had sort of written off the possibility, but then Remedy bought back the franchise rights from Microsoft. Since then, I’ve been waiting. Rubbing. Breathing heavily. Praying. Insane rituals, for an impractical hope. But it appears my incantations may have worked. Alan Wake 2 is apparently coming and Epic Games is publishing the title.

‘Gears of War: Ultimate Edition’ Launch Trailer: Still A Mad World

New ‘UNREAL TOURNAMENT’ is coming! Will be free! Developed with fans!

Unreal Tournament!

The gaming world is a weird one these days. Huge creators leaving their Triple A nests by the dozen. Virtual Reality headsets offering promises of glorious tentacle-gape (to me) and billion-person MMOs. A famous franchise like Unreal Tournament being revived. For free! As a fan collaboration.

OL TRANSMISSION RECONNECT: Speed Run Of Your Lives

ALL-THE-THINGS.

Hello slime, I have missed you. Two days in the gorgeous, but insanely backwards state of Florida has given way to a return to the Space-Ship proper. I’m sitting in the Space Hub, paying $3000 space-cubits per minute to type up this bad boy before departure. Instead of trying to cover everything upon return, here’s a fucking rundown of all the dope stuff I’ve noted whilst away from my terminal.

Read all this dope shit, and then hit the comments with your own…commentary? Clearly the sun has done nothing to help my tattered remains of lucidity.

CLIFF BLESZINSKI teases NEXT PROJECT with SOMETHING LIKE AN IMAGE.

Something-Something-Something.

DUDE HUGE has teased us with a glimpse at his NEXT FUCKING PROJECT. The image itself doesn’t really do anything for me. I imagine it doesn’t do much for anyone. However, what it represents is something special. It works deep into my testicles, tingling them and reminding them of a gaming world where HUGE DUDES canvassed the Earth. The gaming industry is much more lively when CliffyB is dropping games on our asses. In our asses. Everywhere.

Hit the jump for more info. Oh, and the image.

Cliff Bleszinski leaves Epic Games. HOLY MUNG.

This is a bit shocking to me. Folks, there has been a separation of unfathomable gaming magnitude. I never thought I’d see the day that Dude Huge would leave Epic Games. Dude went together with them like Miyamoto and Nintendo, Kojima and Konami. Up is down, left is right. Dorks with really honest replicas of Lancers are unknowing who to get to sign them. This is pandemonium.
