SK is claiming that they put the licence money towards Gears of War and UT3. Meanwhile, Epic was releasing their code changes way too late to the rest of the developers, and missing features that they promised.

Developers have been modifying the code to their own needs because of Epic's tardiness, and when Epic finally releases patches, there has to be major overhauls to the game, which is not developer-friendly at all.

In summary: Epic stole our money to make their own game with code we didn't get for more than 6 months. And after all the hubbub, all we got was the Gears of War source code, which didn't help us at all.
