    Not replying to the dev’s messages and not paying them for 2 years is not an innocent mistake.

    Yeah, they only announced to reach out in the future after bad press.

      Or you can look at it as for what it is rather than some ulterior motive behind it, the emails may have just not been getting to the right person regardless of fault. They’re only replying now because it’s only just now they heard that something was wrong.

      Now on the other hand, I generally find it hard to believe that for a business as large as Epic, nobody would follow up on money that’s just been sitting around for over 2 years.

        Agreed, all it takes is for one or two employees to leave the company after the handoff and information can be forgotten.
