    Abso-fucking-lutely not. That’ll be the death of epic and unreal engine as we know it if it ever happened. And why team up with Google if you know they’ll abandon it in 2-3 years?

        The loss of unreal would be rough for the industry. We’d be better off without Epic, but not without unreal

          I really enjoyed THE FINALS, but I don’t play much games with unreal engine so I can see a future without Epic Games

            Pretty much the majority of (large) single player games in development or recently released have been unreal properties. It’s by far the best game engine for its use cases

              This is it. Most games beyond small scope/indie projects start in Unreal.

                Unreal or Unity, and one of those recently became not really an option.

                I think it’s in everyone’s interest to have more variety in engine choice, but that just leads to everyone only being familiar with their proprietary engine implementation.

                Godot is trying to break in, and seems to be picking up some steam though

        Epic does a lot good things that aren’t competing with the de facto monopoly on pc game sales.

      Yeah first thing they probably do is end the free games and without it I wouldn’t have any games on Epic nor use the platform. It would suck.
