Is it just the middle of the night or am I reading the implication in the Global Game Jam’s latest newsletter that Epic pushed GGJ to remove their CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license requirements, so that non-open-source Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) submissions are allowed??

Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
