Fortnite players flood Donald Mustard with messages as he leaves Epic Games Epic GamesFortnite boss Donald Mustard is retiring from his role at Epic Games, so fans of the battle royale are bidding him farewell. Donald Mustard joined Epic Games in 2008 after the publisher purchased the Chair Entertainment studio he co-founded. While Chair became best known for the acclaimed Shadow Complex and Infinity Blade titles, it eventually went silent. The studio released its last game, PC and mobile adventure Battle Breakers, in 2018. But by that point, Mustard had eased into a new role, given that he was appointed Chief Creative Officer at Epic.
