In KCD there are scenes with over 100 skeletal meshes in the same area as you. So its already better than UE4 90% of the time - While being a crap game basically made by amateurs which only bacame decent after a year of bug fixing and re-working.
Long term support doesn’t mean updates.
Maybe read what LTS is first. Instead of just assuming that too.
And my opinion on Star Citizen is that it has always been a pyramid scheme. What they can or cannot do has nothing to do with them ever releasing.
In fact, its probably better if they never release considering how flawed the idea behind it is. Has nothing to do with the engine in use…
Ps: how do you do software but don’t know what LTS means exactly?
