Bump, almost 3 months old!
Here is most of an email i got from Epic game’S Player support (…) related to the subject:
Hi noobMaster3DOMG,
Thank you for getting back to me and explaining your situation in a bit more detail!
Well, we at Player Support do not handle inquiries about the Unreal Engine, and I understand that you’ve exhausted all or most of the official forums and resources, however I cannot really recommend any other contact points. While I’m not knowledgeable about the Unreal Engine myself, what I can tell you is that design and development decisions are often a result of multiple circumstantial factors, and as such, it might prove to be extremely difficult to get an answer for the “why”, as you’ve just noticed.
The best thing to do in this case would be exactly what you’ve already started, which is raising awareness of the question on our related forums, where both our developers and the community can see them and contribute to the best of their abilities.
I’m now seriously considering using LinkedIn to start asking directly to developers working at Epic/Unreal.
