Epic Games releases $12M worth of Paragon assets for free
The Paragon closure has come with a surprising number of upsides compared to the usual collapse of a game. I really wish more companies opened up their assets (or even the game code) upon the closure of a game they've written off.<p>The other highlight note is that when Epic decided to shutdown Paragon, they opened up the refund offer for <i>all</i> purchases, not just really recent ones. They've taken essentially a complete loss on this entire project, that I believe had upwards of 100 developers working on it at one point.<p>But given Fortnite's success, plus the general solid padding of cash Epic always gets from having one of the most popular game engines that everyone else uses, means they can afford it.
