Sergey Galyonkin was originally a Ukrainian who fled to Cyprus, where he worked for the online game developer Wargaming (World of Tanks/World of Warships). He became famous after founding the SteamSpy data analysis website in 2015. He was chosen by Epic to become the distribution director of Eastern Europe, and was later promoted to the director of distribution strategy:
Many people find it incredible to learn that the boss behind SteamSpy is actually Epic. Epic uses a radical sharing ratio (12/88) to try to unseat the dominant Steam, which has been taking a cut of platform sales revenue at a ratio of 30/70 (30/70) in accordance with industry practice.
Now Epic is lamenting that it cannot make ends meet and has to rely on laying off 16% of its employees to survive the trough. I don’t know whether the SteamSpy boss was laid off or left voluntarily. Judging from the open letter released, Jialin Jinzhi took the initiative to resign:
Galinjin stated in the letter that he was unable to adapt to the Epic 5.0 stage - the industry generally believes that Epic 2.0 is the GTInteractive era, 3.0 is the War Machine era, 4.0 is the Tencent era (Tencent bought 40% of Epic shares in 2012 and obtained two board seats), and 5.0 is... According to the words of Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, Epic 5.0 ushered in the Metaverse era. Jialin Jin obviously could not understand the true meaning of the Yuan Universe and chose to pack up and leave.
In addition, Team17, the publisher of "Worm", announced a large-scale restructuring of the company, and a large number of people including CEO Michael Pattison were laid off. Pattison was first the head of brand marketing and European marketing at THQ, and later worked for Capcom and Sony SIE. He has become the CEO of Team17 since October 2021, and has only been in office for two years.
Team17 laid off a group of developers at the beginning of the year, and now it has brought the QA team under one roof. It is said that the QA process will be outsourced in the future.
Finally, when Mr. Wang appeared in court for trial, he brought a Republic of Gamers gaming laptop. Its RGB logo kept changing color like a neon light during the trial, which was incompatible with the high-end gaming atmosphere:
The game copy was brought into court by Alina Habba (first from right), a lawyer who knows the king. It is said to be a 21 model ROG Strix G17G712, equipped with a 17-inch screen and RTX2070S graphics card. Alina herself did not respond to questions about game notebooks, such as which games she usually plays, and whether she stops and watches when she plays.
