Epic Games announced nearly 900 layoffs on September 28, which affected the entire video game industry. Because even the "Fortnite" manufacturer, known as the game's money printing machine, is not safe, then I'm afraid no one is safe. At the same time, "Fortnite" also made one of the most ill-timed listings in history, adding a new "Rich Wealth Share" emoticon to the emoji store.
Self-media and players who follow "Fortnite" immediately discovered this situation. Guille_GAG shared on Twitter: "Epic re-launches the 'Wealth and Wealth' emote after laying off 900 employees." The FortniteBR Instagram account posted: "EpicGames is under fire for putting the 'Wealth and Wealth' emote on rotation in the item shop just hours after laying off 830 employees."
FortniteBR and others said that this emoticon was removed from the shelves shortly after it was put on the shelves.
An Epic spokesperson told the media that the rotation of the "Share the Wealth" emoticon is by default. They said: "One hour after it was put on the shelves, we discovered the problem and immediately removed the emoticon from the shelves."
Epic Games admitted on Twitter that there was indeed an issue with this emote and stated that it would be replenished during the next item store refresh.
