Agreed that epic is in this for the mass 5% royalties, but if 1000 people decide to cancel their subscription but keep using the engine, that’s 3 developer salaries that could have been paid toward improving it.
Just the blatant amount of people bragging or boasting on forums or comments on the internet about how they are going to download and cancel their subscription immediately because they think they are ‘smart’ need to re-evaluate their thinking as being a part of the game industry.
