Epic Games is set to receive a BAFTA award for their contribution to game development

During this upcoming E3, the British Academy of Film and Television will be giving a "Special Award" to a gaming company that has innovated the gaming industry, and has made a huge contribution to gaming as a whole. That company is Epic Games. BAFTA will be honoring Epic Games with a title that only eight others have held since the inception of the award in 2003, recognizing their impact to gaming as a whole, through the creation of the Unreal Engine, Fortnite, and Gears of War. Previous winners of the Special Award consist of Nolan North, for his voice acting performance in many major games, "Markus Notch" Persson for Minecraft, and Amy Hennig for her writing in the Uncharted and Legacy of Kain series. Though Epic Games has left an immeasurable mark on gaming history, this award comes at a controversial time, with the Epic Game Store still receiving negative press, and multiple reports of "endless" 70-hour work weeks due to development crunch from overtired employees.

We are delighted to present this year’s Special Award to Epic Games. Having powered the creativity and imaginations of development teams of all sizes over the years – many of whom have gone on to win BAFTAs - it’s right to mark their huge contribution with this Special Award as part of BAFTA’s commitment to celebrating and promoting the very best in games. Epic is at the forefront of the evolution of the global games industry and the impact of their innovation is undeniable.

Consumer friendly? Wake me when they add and enforce basic security functions.

I can look past their bully tactics.. As I've enjoyed how simple their launcher actually is. Finally played Exodus.. But I've already had my account jacked.

Oh dang. Was not aware of this.

In any case, at the very least you should be able to contact support. I mean last time I contacted support on Steam, I got a reply after 5 days. And they did not solve my issue.

I agree, Steams customer support is pretty bad. My brother lost his account and it took them two months to even respond about it. Not even joking.

What the actual fuck?

2 months? You gotta be exaggerating a bit there, not even Steam is that freaking bad, is it?

That is positively insane.

I said he was nuts, but he showed me the timeframe from the first email to the response. No joke.

Holy mother of gaming...

I didn't know it was THAT bad. Holy shit.

I would just crack the DRM on all my games, or pirate them, as a means of flipping them off, so to speak.
