Well I just triad to log into the cryengine launcher and their server is down. It appears you have to be online in order to develop your game.
So we have
always online
training and answerhub hidden behind paywall (which may change once people start making videos)
No substance (painter/designer) support, something even lumberyard will be getting
A pipeline that sucks unless you have other “expensive” software tools (Maya 3ds max)
An EULA that is more complex than US tax law
All this and some of you still believe their is a competition going on?
