Question for someone at Epic that might know, but is there a way to bundle or gift copies of the engine license to users? I really want to support modding for my game and will do so via data files for as much as possible, but I’m okay with the situation of users that want more than that having to get the engine.
What I’m wondering is if it’d be possible to bundle in a gifted copy of the engine license for something like a Kickstarter reward tier, or as part of a “modder’s” or collector’s edition type thing.
To be clear, I’m not talking about redistributing the engine with the game or anything like that, but specifically just gifting a license that would end up going through the normal licensing/account process.
(Maybe such that people who wanted to do wanted to do that end up just buying them up-front and getting a redemption/coupon code or something?)
+1 to that idea.
I think even making your game moderately moddable using XML files, and then offering the users amazing modding flexibility with a UE4 sub for just $20 would be a great middle ground.
