Nice find on the info man, not bad for a full time job if I do say so myself. It's too bad they don't get more tho, like for the games they make, they should get a percentage of their profit, because after all, they are the ones who made it, lol.
they make about 90,000 dollars a year depending on gaming company and im pretty sure epic isnt a big company and r currently looking for designers
Trust me Epicis a big company. They made Unreal Tournament and the Unreal Engine which alot of games are using now. Also the founder of Epic has a Lotus and another nice car and also a mansion. I know this because of the Special DVD that came with Limited Edition Gears
Level Creation in GoW 
Linear Mode
