Sergey Galenkin left Epic Games after eight years of work (updated)
Sergey Galenkin, director of publishing strategy at Epic Games, has probably been hit by a wave of layoffs at the company. Galenkin's Linkedin account indicates that he worked at Epic Games until September 2023 inclusive.
The game channels drew attention to the change in the resume (thanks for the tip to the Telegram channel "Magic Chest"). Galenkin himself did not comment on leaving Epic Games. He noted on social media only that he can now write about video games again.
Galenkin has worked at Epic Games for almost eight years: he joined the company in February 2016. Prior to that, he worked for Wargaming, Red Beat, Nival and other game development teams. Galenkin is also known as the creator of the analytical service SteamSpy.
Recall that last week Epic Games announced the decision to lay off more than 800 employees. Then she said that two thirds of the layoffs would take place outside the core business and would not be related to the development of key projects.
Update: Sergey Galenkin has released a statement in connection with his departure from Epic Games. He noted that the company is being rebuilt in Epic 5.0. Previously, it was a game and engine developer, and plans to become a platform. "I am not suitable for this Epic, it needs other people," Galenkin said.
