I really think this is a smart move.. now, I simply see no reason why someone should use Gamestudio tongue Unity is also heavily tackled by this... I think 5% royalties are very OK, because if you really make more than 3K per quarter, you can really afford the next 150 USD of the next 3K! All the up-front costs were killing Unity for me, now I'm heavily breathing and I really get excited about Unreal grin

Yep, that's it. Time to download UE4 I guess.

heh, I wanted to subscribe again this week grin (I waited a few months because 4.7 was said to introduce significant C++ related changes)
and everybody will get 30usd to spend in marketplace who subscribed earlier. nice present. probably their forum will be heavily overloaded in the following months (it was already very active)

its financial side is also very interesting... maybe they want to get money mainly from the marketplace stuff?

Well there's still the fact that UE4 does have a rather steep learning curve compared to Unity (and Gamestudio for that).
So I guess the kind of devs who used Unity for its simplicity will probably stay there for quiet a while.
Economically though, this just blows every other product from the market.

In light of the news of ue4 being free, unity is holding a live-streamed very special announcement event in 18 hours at San Francisco GDC 2015: https://twitter.com/unity3d/status/572448662355243008 grin

it's ON!

though i do not expect them to go free and open source like ue4

Ue4 also has immense amount of video tutorials direct from Epic, samples and template projects.

yeah, you could spend 2 lives to watch all the videos grin

unfortunately the documentation has many missing part, but sometimes the developers appear unexpectedly in forum threads to help you out when you want to use undocumented features of the engine. (e.g. in a custom level streaming question they pasted in some code from their unfinished game called Fornite, what I need to port my game concept from 3dgs to ue4)

I'm sure unity also has an appropriate response on it... in a game dev article a developer (of Wateland2) said porting their game from unity 4.5 to 5 will allow much more users to mod the game...

and hey,
looks like that $30 is effective immediately



unity better announce something good to keep their users on board.

right now the forums/online communities and twitter is waiting patiently(but in the brink of riot) and the hype is up about that announcement. They better announce something good or it means riot.
