Dear Tim Sweeney We know #UEFN isn't easy. We know moderation isn't easy. We're on your side. But... This was shot in our banned #fortnite map. We explain what happened, why it's baffling and suggest some ways we could help make it better. In engine. Tx for watching

Seems we hit a nerve with this one, thanks for all the support everyone, feels like there’s a lot of similar feeling around. If anyone wants to see the map we shot this in I believe it is now playable again. 6169-1838-0713 Also… I want to visit your maps. Let me know.

@TimSweeneyEpic Feedback rendered in UE?! That’s awesome. We’re glad things are gucci and appreciate the thoughtful video. Moderation is critical to our ecosystem and a big area of investment for us.

I genuinely feel so bad for you guys and I hope you can figure out a way to fix this to get your map listed once more. However, if a single sentence can't get through without Tim Sweeney blocking you or ignoring you, unfortunately I do not believe this video will either. Thousands upon thousands of people have brought it to his attention and he simply does not care and hasn't addressed it once. If he sees this I'll be very happy and I hope I'm wrong but, again, he doesn't seem to care. He's too focused on suing Apple and trying to win a battle he's lost years ago than to properly communicate and address his community about multiple things that have been going wrong with Epic, Fortnite and UEFN.

@TimSweeneyEpic Insane, clear and direct points. Hopefully, we see an improvement for Discovery and UEFN with all the feedback you guys gave 🙏

This addresses a LOT of what a LOT of creators are feeling, especially the veterans of creative. I agree with a lot here, but I also want to say, IP is NOT OK IMO, but we don't know the legal issues behind taking down EVERY map we see with IP, so that is why they are there, the owners of the IP have to file a DMCA. Even if we know it is in no way chill to be there, we have got to wait for DMCA on it, and then it is on moderation to follow through on DMCA as I know there are DMCA's filed for COD maps and I still see those maps being put out as others were taken down. Who knows what else is like that too. As far as the mannequin, honestly, it's most likely the position it is posed, not trying to defend anyone, but I can see the issue that could be flagged here and I can see the POV of studio defending it. Lots of valid points though, and I know Epic hears us, but we need to hear from Epic about what they are doing about it, I get the legal issues and they have lawyers or people who are guiding and yada yada.... but I am so sadden seeing the veterans wanting to quit, feeling defeated, or even resorting to lowering their standards and following the scummy trends. OK Love the vid, love the passion, no offense is meant in any way, just my thoughts. Love the passion and drive behind this, I try to see it from all views best I can

Pretty much spot on, and we've been echoing the same message to Epic for a while. Currently, genuine creators are set up to fail from the start with the current moderation farce. Playing by the rules becomes tiresome when you're constantly faced with rule breaking experiences that are up for days/weeks on end, if not indefinitely. Then we have this issue (ps, we've had the exact same issue). Without Epic human intervention, it's impossible to overcome, and a lot of Creators would just give up at the start. Not very welcoming to everyone, is it?

@TimSweeneyEpic very good video @TimSweeneyEpic hopfully you can take criticism and not block everyone like you have done so far

@TimSweeneyEpic This is actually unreal. It's amazing how you and your team is producing this type of content. Keep up the amazing work! It's hard being a first mover, but it pays off 🤝

Well spoken, I agree 100% However- I think it’s embarrassing that a high effort video like this is what finally gets a response from Epic and not the voices of hundreds of creators before. This can’t be the only way to get their attention

On the positive side, maybe we did get their attention. And maybe it shows creators that we actually do have a voice.
