delisted all the unreal and unreal tournament games from all storefronts to reduce competition to fortnite. You can't buy any unreal game legit anymore, either have to pirate or scrounge internet archive. For anyone who doesn't know unreal was epicmegagames first flagship series, the one that printed the money for the foundation they sit on. Very dedicated fanbase and everything, and epic kills it. even the singleplayer campaigns.
this doesn't make any sense, these games were never competing with fortnite.
delisting these games was a very shitty thing to do, but there is no reason for us to go around fabricating nonsensical motives to explain it. the far simpler explanation is that they didn't want to put in the work to keep these games playable on modern PCs.
Meanwhile Quake and Quake II just got awesome remasters..
