Epic drastically drops the price of Unreal Engine

[PepeAmpere]

Use google for engine v4: 20 dollars/month + 5% sell-price for full engine + source + full toolset.

Do you think this change anything?

[Karl]

Of course It will change a few stuff. Since such kind of Engine used to cost in the thousand range if not more.

[PepeAmpere]

My question aims open minded projects, primary.

[AF]

Yes free opensource projects will have to drop their prices to compete

[PicassoCT]

The competition got fierce there yes

But my guess, this is just some hidden hook contract. Like "if you make money with our engine, our license demands that you sing that one queen song monetary wise"

and I'm giving it all and I'm giving it all

It ain't much I'm asking if you want the truth
here's to the future hear the cry of youth

They want it all They want it all They want it all and They want it now

Also for 40 $ you have the right for how much support, should the engine phail when it comes to specific requests?

Also alternatives.. snow engine by massive got rother nice. CryEngine. QuakeEngine is still good. Source Engine..

Its not like they are alone out there. Not everyone giving out stuff for free wants your very best of thee.

Well Unity has a (good) free version, and a good development kit, so this isn't really that amazing. However, as more engines drop prices, it can't be a bad thing :)
