Head of Epic Games called NVIDIA head Jensen Huang's resignation a sad event for all of humanity

Tim Sweeney literally felt the pain of some miner from Vorkuta or a supermarket cashier in Gomel, who greedily caught every piece of news about the sexual escapades of the head of one of the planet's largest corporations and waited with bated breath to see how it would all end.

Epic Games head Tim Sweeney commented on Jensen Huang’s departure as CEO of NVIDIA, calling the event a sad occurrence not only for the company, but also for developers, the US, and all of humanity.

He noted that Huang managed to build and lead one of the few technology companies that succeeded in reaching massive scale while continuing to actively innovate.

The head of Epic Games also emphasized that NVIDIA managed to avoid the tendency common among large corporations toward constantly increasing extracted profits at the expense of technological development.

However, Sweeney did not stop at praising the former NVIDIA executive. He criticized excessive interference by government agencies in investigating the circumstances of his departure.
