Even with buying 3D Max and Zbrush , it's not that expensive , 3d Max is like $3500 , and Zbrush under $700 (I think). That's a little over $4000, that's VERY cheap , a good pc can run you just as much. Now consider , that the Unreal Engine 3 license was around $750,000 (estimate) to be able to use the engine for commercial purposes. So , that's $750,000 less than you needed to be able to make a commercial game with the engine. That's a fucking HUGE discount. We now all have the technology the professionals have in our hands , and free , what more can one ask for ? For them to make the game for us and send us a check ? LOL
