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.
