It was weird when Rod decided to leave. Now things are kind of scary, yet hopeful at the same time. The guys responsible for the SO/Retro aren't involved anymore so hopefully things can move in a different direction.

I honestly cannot believe this.
But, congratulations Cliff and good luck to you on your future, you made great games and made a lot of people happy with your creativity that you put into your games. Thank you.

Am I allowed to cry? I guess its good I got to meet him twice in the highlight years. I hope Epic can still continue to churn out amazing games! I have no doubt, however with Cliff and Rod gone....something will be missing.

Surprised by this news, I alway's thought Cliff would be here for the next few years at least. Sad to see him leave too, even if it's a 'break' as he says.

Well then,
Good Game Epic, it was tons of fun while it lasted.
One of those times when you realize what happened in all of those years.
I don't know what else to say, I'm just shocked.

I remember when Rod left I made a post saying, "Now what next?! We'll be reading about Cliffy B leaving!"
And now I'm incredibly sad to see this.

Good luck with whatever you do Cliffy. You molded Epic into what it is today. Although it is a sad day for Epic, I am also excited for the future of Epic now.

Cliff I just want to say thank you for everything that you have done for the gaming universe. Without you and everyone at Epic Games there would not have been an E-Day 2006. Thank you again and good luck on your new adventure, hope its bigger and better and more bad ass than the first one.
