Unreal Engine Pricing Changes
(gamefromscratch.com)
Welcome to the game development community! This is a place to talk about and post anything related to the field of game development.
Makes sense considering they get payed by profits from a released game. Non-game users were using engine fully free so far.
Hollywood/commercial agency has way more money and they can pay toward UE development to benefit both game and non game devs. (This change pretty much targets high profile vfx companies.) Or they can just keep dev in their own code branch without paying.
