Epic Games is not just games anymore.

Take a look at how The Mandalorian (a Disney production) was filmed. Epic Games’ software played a large part.

It goes beyond just film & television. They offer solutions for the automotive industry, aviation simulation industry, mining sims, trucking sims, medical sims, architecture, live broadcast, …

Hmm, I think I might invest if I can!

At this point they should just buy Epic Healthcare and consolidate.

I never expected a dystopian megacorp to start from a cartoon or videogame company. As a kid I figured it would kick off with walmart buying lockmart and just calling itself Mart.
