After the failure of LawBreakers which tried to compete with Blizzard's Overwatch, Boss Key Productions' team has decided to directly compete with Epic's Fortnite and Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. Radical Heights is available in Steam's Early Access now with the "mixed" based on more than 6,000 reviews from Valve's platform users. It looks like the harsh verdicts are not the only problem the studios has to face.
According to the co-founder of Boss Key and the lead designer on the first three Gears of War games, Epic Games is trying to hire away his team. The LawBreakers director publicly called out his former company over employee poaching last week. Bleszinski followed this up with an insinuation that this alleged employee poaching has to do with Boss Key's new "X-Treme Early Access" game Radical Heights.
"Cliffy B" left Epic Games on October 3, 2012 after 20 years with the company. It's unclear whether Epic is really trying to hire away his team, or is it just his unique attempt on promoting Radical Heights. Epic Games still hasn’t responded to Bleszinski’s tweets.
