        Fair enough.

        Also, speaking of alternatives, people should check out O3DE. It’s based on Amazon Lumberyard, which itself it based on CryEngine, but it’s FOSS and managed by the Linux Foundation.

        Interestingly enough, Epic Games is a premier member, along with many other companies.

                Could also be to prevent a potential antitrust lawsuit, since they have a de facto monopoly on AAA game engines.

                Kind of like Google funding Mozilla.
