Should I stay away from UE?

No, it is not. If you are just building a single player game, the UE licensing is more than generous in my mind, no matter how many millions copies you can sales, since it is always cheaper then you write your own engine. But It does not mean it is a good choice for every situation. In my situation, the “game” is functioning as a way to deliver trainings. Or you can think it as a fancy multimedia player. Once it is done, only some small user interaction need to be added to the “game” for each course, the cost related to implement those user interactions is only a small fraction (less than 10%) of the total cost to develop a course, the rest has nothing to do with the game, not even have anything to do with a computer. but you still need to pay as the whole course is developed using the engine. If my only choice is using UE or write my own, it is a no brainer to use UE, but there are other other engines on the market with different licensing and fee structure. I am not here to complain about the fees, instead I think UE licensing is the best one currently available for most game developers, especially small developers. I am posting here just to see if anyone have a different view about the situation I am facing.

You can contact Epic to negotiate a custom licence if that is required for your project, for more info on that please see the following page:
