The original relevant text:

I feel like this era has come to a close, and it is time to move forward. The industry is in a very interesting place. The games industry has always been an industry where change is relentless and inevitable, but it feels like we are reaching a pivotal point now and a potent mix of things.

As much as I love the old way of working, I think it would be strategic to come to terms with where this is heading, and to work out how to adapt and excel at solving the challenges and opportunities that we face.

A bunch of cryptic nonsense. Saying it's turning to shit without saying it, is my takeaway.

Seems he’s alluding to AI but it’s unclear why he wouldn’t just say that…

The Fortnitification of UE is mentioned but he doesn't really point to that as a reason either.
