Whether you’re in media, technology, architecture, armed services, or healthcare, you need to understand Epic Games and game engines. Yes, Fortnite is an enormously popular and innovative hit ‘game’, and Unreal Engine was used to film almost all of The Mandalorian. But these talking points offer only a narrow view into Epic’s importance and unprecedented societal aspirations.

Epic’s rapidly growing flywheel of technologies, services, and standards are quietly redefining the digital economy, chipping away at the hegemony of the major tech/media-platforms, and setting the stage for the next ‘Internet’. To address this, I’ve written the EPIC GAMES PRIMER with Jacob Navok. It has six parts:

  1. The Epic Games Flywheel and Unreal Engine (the core of Epic Games)

  2. The Epic Games Store

  3. Epic Games Publishing

  4. Epic Online Services (the most disruptive of Epic’s new businesses)

  5. Fortnite, It’s Ethos and How It’s Building the Epic Games Flywheel

  6. Epic’s Philosophy and Unprecedented Aspirations

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
