Today, the company continues to innovate on established industry practice and champion the game development community.
Dr Jo Twist OBE, Chair of BAFTA's Games Committee, said: "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."

Casi no se nota que quieres darle publicidad gratuita a EPIC. Como si fueran los unicos que reciben premio.
No pasa nada Trash lo proximo subforo EPIC.
Entiendo que todo lo que haga Epic es noticia y mira que a mi me suele importar poco los threads que se crean,pero esto ya aburre muschisimo.
Lo mismo peco de ser un pesado de mierda pero me la sopla, son curiosas algunas de las palabras que les dedican sobre innovacion, desarrollo, etc cuando hace nada conociamos de manos de ex trabajadores que la situacion laboral de algunos de estos era jodida.
Me encanta toda la bilis que trae cada noticia de Epic, es delicioso ver a la peña indignandose porque se tienen que instalar un luncher mas para poder jugar a un juego al que tienen acceso desde sus maquinas pero cosas como el "crush", me cago en la neolengua eufemistica, no deberian dejarse pasar.
Gente quejándose de la cantidad de noticias que se abren de Epic
Igual, es una teoría a vuelapluma, si dejárais de llorar en cada hilo de Epic, no se crearían tantos hilos porque lo que hacéis es generar tráfico; que, oh sorpresa, es lo que da de comer a los admins.
