Not a chance, and definitely not time soon.

There are certain indicators for enshittification, and Epic (like Valve) doesn't meet any of them.

  1. It is a privately held company with no plans for IPO and no dealings with venture capitalists. Conversely, Unity made their IPO in 2020 under the auspices of a notorious EA villain.
  2. It is still lead by one of it's founders.
  3. Said founder is very famously big on equity and pro-developer & pro-consumer policies.

Now, you may not like Epic for some reason, but they are currently a very stable, reliable, and trustworthy company that is focused on sustaining their business through dedication to quality and reputation. Personally, I respect them every bit as much as I respect Valve.
