      I first heard of the Improbable controversy at 1pm yesterday. It cuts to the heart of both of our businesses (online services and stores) so we spent all day digging into the situation and putting together the fund, which was agreed at 6pm and announced by 8pm.

      Epic isn’t a party to Unity’s dispute with Improbable and never opined on that. My comments are on the actual terms Unity changed in their EULA, which apply to all users, and take away developer freedom to choose stores and server-side middleware (including Epic’s).

      I don’t know if there’s merit to Unity’s allegations. Generally it’s unprecedented for one middleware provider to say their customers aren’t allowed to use other middleware and services, so my view is that Improbable’s position is reasonable.

      It all definitely sounds planned. 25m in 5 hours?? I hope I'm wrong.

      Well, we’ve been in the planning stages on the next stage of Unreal Dev Grants for months, so we had most of the fund elements already lined up in that context.

      But the general process is: - You make a business plan with another company that benefits both (takes meetings and e-mails) - You negotiate a contract (more time) - You sign - You announce. How can you do the first three steps so fast????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Because I guess you don't give 25m without having a business development plan, or at least some detailed milestones/timeline of what will be done with that money, and of course a contract, NDA, etc. I'm not a business expert but it just doesn't make sense. Unreal knew about it.

      All we’ve done is created the fund and set aside the money for it. Discussions to allocate funds to specific developers are just beginning today and will roll out over the coming weeks and months.

          Well. Fortnite was a rip-off (PUBG), so expect to throw in a kidney or other organ to keep up with @EpicGames and @Improbableio’s biz tactics ;-) there’s no such thing as free lunches

          We need to remember that by stating that X amount is available as funds it doesn't mean the money is instantly applied. those that follow unreal know about the grants and funds throughout the year. I'm hopeful that this is just some bad communication between unity and improbable.
