Which billionaire is the founder of Epic Games?

Which billionaire is the founder of Epic Games? Tim Sweeney is the answer.

Sweeney founded Epic Games, originally called Potomac Computer Systems, in 1991 from his parents’ home in Potomac, Maryland. He created the text-based game ZZT, which was distributed through the shareware model and helped turn his programming hobby into a business.

The company changed its name to Epic MegaGames in 1992 and later became Epic Games in 1999. Sweeney also created Unreal, the 1998 first-person shooter that gave its name to Unreal Engine, Epic’s influential game-development technology.

Epic’s later success came from both software and games, including the Unreal Engine, Fortnite and the Epic Games Store. Mark Rein joined the company early and became a major business leader, but he is not the founder. Likewise, Fortnite is an Epic Games product, not a company founded by the game’s individual developers.
