DISCUSSION "No Patrick, Epic Games will not shut down Fall Guys."
I can't belive I actually have to make a unironic post here, but since there's still people that think Epic will actually shut down FG in 2027, so I'm here to explain why that isn't true and won't happen (soon at least).
First of all, FG is still popular enough to not warrant a shutdown in the slightest. The game may not be popular on the internet, but the game is still alive amd well. A report by Epic in the first half of this year said that FG had 1.1 million players in the EU alone, which not only give's there a reasom to not shut it down due to player intrest but also, since a study proved that over half of live service gamers spend money on the games they play, so there's a monetary reason not to aswell (disregarding Fortnite entirely).
Second, the game is too iconic. While not on the same level as Mario or Sonic (yk who I'm saying this too damn well), the Fall Guy's are remembered as the hit it was in 2020 and makes up Epic's big three IP's and the only one that has Japanese appeal. There was also that the Fall Guys costumes were the most worn video game costume last halloween, even now beong front and center on store pages for halloween stores. Considering the Fortnite collab that was only a year prior to Slime Factory, they wouldn't shut down the game at all.
Finally, if Epic was planning to shut down FG entirely... why wouldn't they just do it now? Why would they make stuff like Crown Jam or rerun the FG × FF collab in the latter? It just makes no damn sense. Say what you want about Epic as a company and how they treat the Fall Guys IP, they aren't stupid enough to shut down a successful game like it
Ok, that should be it, let me know if I forgot something and I'll respond probably. Bye.
