Your crazy cipher , no matter how beautifull and good the Unreal Engine 3 is ,
it's $750,000 , do you properly understand that number , SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS , maybe in capital letters you'll understand it better. Thats a fortune man , it's insane , only big companies with tons of money can afford that , no one else. The only reason these companies pay it is because well , it is a very good and complete engine , and has all the next gen stuff and is very powerfull as well , and frankly , when you have a 30 million dollar budget throwing 1 million to the engine and just worrying about the game doesnt seem like a bad idea. But you have to realize , things are only worth what people pay for them , nothing more , look at 3D Max , it's expensive , but it's $3000 some dollars , and it's a very powerfull software which has been used in many commercial movies and the like , yet it's something affordable in that sense, why in the planet would someone think it's just to charge almost a million dollars for their software ? No matter how much documentation it can contain , and shaders , and anything else , it's still a game engine , with no game , just the engine , you still have to produce a good game with it , or it's worthless , I think it's inhumane for this chimps to be charging that much for a piece of software , and retarded that people of this forum agree with the price , and then beat down what we have , critisize it to the last detail while we praise the other to the last detail. Again , awesome and beautifull engines , but definately not worth their price.
