As some of you know, I occasionally hear stuff from sources that might be very nda/classified information.
Its how I found out UE4 became free before it was made public at gdc2015, when the kite content was released and now this.
So… yea…
you heard it here first!
Epic to merge with Unity, next engine will be UnReality
I think it is great that there are more engines. Best example are the market places, i can use assets from both venues. Though, the engine called Cryengine is very strict and does not allow usage of their assets in other engines. On top they do not support common formats (fbx). This means that they hurt their sales proactively, because 3rd party engine users wont buy, and i doubt that someone switches an engine because of such a ruling.
