Epic Games Has Acquired RAD Game Tools
It was announced that Epic Games, developer of Fortnite and the Unreal Engine tech, would be buying RAD Game Tools. You may not know who that is if you’re not actively in game development, but you’ve certainly seen their logos at the start of games: Bink Video, Oodle, Telemetry, Granny 3D and Miles Sound System. RAD is one of the longest running providers of toolsets that ranged from everything from video to audio to compression. They aren’t just limited to the game industry either, as their tools have also been used in film and television.
Within the announcement, it was stated that these tools would still be available to everyone outside the Unreal Engine ecosystem, so while there will no doubt be a better overall integration into Unreal, no one will be locked out, though the simplification of this process will no doubt be very tempting for those not within the Unreal sphere.

YyouLoseE I don't think it's good that Epic is acquiring more and more companies related to the game industry.
They are repeatedly monopolizing the market, and I see a future where it will only get worse.
I agree with you. That ain't the best and keep getting more and more companies isn't gonna do em any better.

Definitely agree with you there. It's going to come to the point where Epic buys over majority of the gaming industry. Let's just hope it doesn't have any negative impact on any of our much loved game series.
