Epic news is epic 
Also, am really doing my very best to resist trolling the 1% who are complaining about the ācommon folkā being allowed into the country club.

Gosh darn it.

Thereās been a lot of change with engine along with Unity recently. I would expect some transitional issues.
The fact that the process is very open with engine, and the progress consistent, I have a lot of faith going forward.
If they project to continue progress at the same pace, in addition to offering open access to licenses I think itās great.
Do you consider that maybe deal will mean more people might contribute to improving the engine for free?
I donāt think things are so clear cut, and I think itās an Epic move.

Well the biggest benefit to me is modding, users sign up for a free UE4 account and hey presto you can allow them to have an editor. More people will contribute? Potentially, but if youāre remotely serious about games development than $20.00 is nothing, so no I donāt believe it will greatly expand ācontributionā pools. A counter balance would be the influx of new developers when Epic are already stretched thin as is.
Weāve had a lot of support and great interaction with Epic thus far, as long as that doesnāt change then Iām all for.

Could they at least provide seperate club rooms? 
Any developer in the sense of a ādeveloperā was able to afford the $19. So far the UE4 $19 provided a barrier for kids.
The $0 thing opens the doors for millions of kids, who after spending endless time in UE4 figuring out what product means, will publish āblood spray kitsā and so on.
I can already see 99% of the market place content being warrior princess and dragon stuff. I mean is going to happen.
I do not consider myself elitist when I say that all those common people in the club will drag the quality down and UE4 will get a reputation next to Blender vs 3dsmax.
I am a bit afraid of .

Itās no different - it was never much of a ābarrierā, if I was an 9 year old kid Iād just ask my mom for ā¬20 then unsubscribe.
Who cares if kids want to try make games, itās great, starts somewhere. If you donāt want to help them on the forums or play their games, then donāt.
It wonāt stop larger game using the engine.
You canāt use the word ācommon peopleā without sounding elitist.
Also, Blender has a great reputation.
AAAAH! Itās free! I donāt know what to say! I bought it maybe 10 days agoā¦ Thanks you, thank you, thank you! Now my friends are going to use it!
A big thanks you from me, and many other developers around the world.
Is anyone else having trouble installing it? I keep getting error code 2738.

Funny thoughts.
I started programming at the age of 12. was 36 Years ago.
What would happen if people like me starting to complain about people with not-so-much-experience?
Thankyou for making a AAA platform which artists with little technical skills can use to make games. Hopefully the learning curve continues to be low.
Thank you Epic :rolleyes:

Has the launcher installed and you have ran it? After you sign in, click on the library tab in the launcher and you will have the option to add an engine, then click the Install button, and it will download and install
[=]
I absolutely love !..But is there a donate button somewhere? I feel bad having such a wonderful engine for free. Iād like to give every once in a while.

+1 i Agreed, Epic gave us a impressive (im still shocked at 3:00 spanish hour) a win-win move, I would (unles you get profit for that 5% of your games logically, does count really) donate being you as developer, modder, mapper, contents or being a simple gamer from community. They deserve a great and big gratitude for that unexpected movement.
Long live Epic!
long live UT and Unreal!

thank you doing it right now
Iād love to be able to take my $19/month and spread it around the community a bit - Iāve really relied on the likes of to move my project on (i did actually commission him to make a plug in for me) and itād be great if I could throw a few dollars micropayment around - maybe we could have a button marked ātip contributorā and a small payment is made to these altruists which exist in the forums?
Once more, thanks epic for all neat stuff.

I have bad feeling about itā¦
shall we expect licence change next to something more restrict in return for free engine?
[=a.carter1182;233589]
Mind blowingā¦I canāt say thanks enough. I hope I can give back somehowā¦Iāll have to figure it out 
I feel the same, but I believe what Epic ultimately wants us to do for giving back is to go out there and make a game!
If you end up selling it, and it succeeds, Epic succeeds as wellā¦

Nope Itās all the same apart from getting rid of the subscription fee; Youāre not dreaming: is happening
Since I found out about , I took my mission to be to find some outdated stuff from your websites, and here we go:
https://www.unrealengine/blog/welcome-to-unreal-engine-4
ā[FONT=Lucida Grande]For $19/month you can have access to everything, including the Unreal Editor in ready-to-run form, and the engineās complete C++ source code hosted on GitHub for collaborative development.ā
blog post has been my UE4 bookmark for half a year now, so I was sort of surprised the outdated info is here, not in some dark corner of documentation nobody has visited since the original release.

Thanks for , Iāll make sure one of the site runners see it and get it sorted!
The progress that Unreal Engine 4 is making targeting the indie market is remarkable
Iām a long time Unity 3d fan but the offers/quality/ease of Unrealās tools is becoming better than Unityās offer i have to be honest
Thanks Epic for making great tool available in full to all of us
5% royalty is 100% fair for what we are getting
