Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney is now worth $7 billion

Dude what? You do realize that unreal engine 4 is still pretty new and they are constantly adding major features faster than any software development project I've ever seen? Not to mention it hands down stands above every other game engine available today? And where does the money go? Well, I remember when they retroactively refunded me all my money back for every month that I subscribed to UE4 once it went free, just cause they were making more money than ever and wanted to share with the community. Then one time they gave me some free credit to use on the asset store for a celebration. Also, they once changed the revenue % returns for marketplace asset creators and retroactively paid the creators the extra revenue percentages for stuff they sold years ago. I know Epic has a shit reputation among gamers, or so it seems anyways, but as developers and as a company, I've had nothing but a great experience with them.
