Poaching Allegations Stir Up Radical Heights vs Fortnite Controversy

Boss Key’s Cliff Bleszinski is not impressed with Fortnite developer, Epic Games. According to a tweet Bleszinski made, Epic Games is attempting to poach employees. This is taking place a week after the Early Access launch of Boss Key’s new free-to-play game, Radical Heights, which uses Epic Games’ own Unreal Engine.

Here are the tweets made by Cliff Bleszinski on the (now public) matter:

Hey @epicgames, could you please stop trying to hire away my team? We just launched @Radical_Heights on #UE4 and are really happy with how it’s going. pic.twitter.com/pe2DoZNuRq
