Here's a quick rundown of the history of Epic Games

Gamecock Media is a loyal follower of Epic Games Inc., a video game development corporation which is to be found in Cary, North Carolina, United States. Epic Games primarily revolved and got their popularity due to their first person shooter games, the "Unreal" series.

Being the mother company of two giant game developers, "Chair Entertainment" and "People Can Fly," and having set up buildings in Shanghai, Seoul, and Tokyo, the said corporation continues its journey to success with the management of the following people: Tim Sweeney, the technical director, chief executive officer, and chairman of the aforementioned company; Steve Polge, the direct programmer; Jerry O'Flaherty, the studio art director from 2003 to 2007 (later replaced by Chris Perna); and Cliff Bleszinski, the design director.

Established in the year 1991 carrying the name "Protomac Computer Systems," Epic Games has released their product called ZZT, which became the stairway to their success and led them to change their name and better known as Epic MegaGames. During the era of Epic MegaGames, a number of sharewares were released, which are not only well-liked by many but also brought large profits to the said company.
