Williamson was among the Epic employees answering fans’ questions in a Reddit AMA post this afternoon. One fan asked when planes will be taken out of the game, and Williamson’s answer likely made a lot of players happy.

The X-4 Stormwing planes were introduced at the start of season seven on Dec. 6, 2018—but they’ve been the subject of a lot of criticism and controversy over the past few months.
