Why Is Unreal Free?

OK, so how many of you may have seen, Unreal Engine 4 is now free (Mainly Because Of The Money Being Made On The Marketplace Now). To a lot this idea seems , but to me it seems like this will turn Epics name into a joke like Unity name is now. The great thing about the $19 a month, and no free plans was that people who were on the forums were serious about game development, and that is the difference between Unity and Unreal. Now that it is free I expect soon to see the forms page having a lot of immature posts like Unity’s. That isn’t the only problem I see although, the other issue is that ever since Unity has become free so many games have been releasing that are either incomplete or stupid, and has made PC gaming a joke and most people always blame Unity for this (although it is not their fault). I just don’t want Epic to fall the same way.

No need for concern. The Forum Community is self-regulated and justly moderated. The community will assist in the growth of the immature. Additionally, there is an Off Topic Forum section to post Anything and Everything Else - Breakfast Cereals, Movies, Who Was The Best Batman? I will continue to support Epic w/ $19/mo to purchase content from the marketplace.
