    I don’t get it…Unity just forced the entire development community to use Unreal. The pricing structure isn’t even close between the two.

    At 200k downloads at 1$ a pop, unreal is still free…Unity is $40k.

      Or CryEngine

      Or Godot

      Or O3DE (a CryEngine fork … that’s from what I understand heavily diverged)

      That’s a 20% cut…on top of Apple/Google’s 30% cut. You only get 50% of the sticker price. That’s fucking criminal.
