Lmfao, bruh, you're comparing looking at the sky and seeing what colour it is, to wasting your time on social media watching random outrage posts about video games like everyone sees the same rage bait that you do.
Go outside and touch grass, then cite your source dumbass.
Cite your source dumbass.
You don't need to be remotely close to the most profitable tech company per employee to do that.
Or maybe you haven't noticed how every game that's made with Unreal Engine, all the way back since UE4, requires far more resources than is necessary to run what it's running.
We'll all wait for you to cite your source on that one, because, no Unreal does not perform particularly worse then any other game engine.
Unreal is broadly available and not just hidden behind AAA walls so a lot of A and AA devs won't have time to optimize their games with it, but they wouldn't have had time to optimize regardless of whether they published with Unity or Godot or any other engine. Unreal is certainly a vastly more efficient engine then Unity, which is its main competition.
Also, how are you squaring away the idea that Unreal is ruining games as art? There are two options:
-
be a creative game designer and spend all your resources on engineers to build you a custom game engine, then spend more resources training everyone at your company on how your specific niche engine works
-
be a creative game designer and use an off the shelf engine like Unreal to run and render your game so you can spend your resources on artists, writers, and designers, and everyone comes in knowing how to use it
Do you really think that number 1 leads to more artistic games? The literal entire reason we're in an indie game mecca right now is because of the widespread proliferation of third party game engines, that let small dev teams focus on the game and not the engine.
Lmfao, you're so brain dead that you think Unreal Engine is a bad thing.
Jesus fucking Christ learn how to think critically and not just suck Gabe's billionaire dick.
Well Gabe is too busy having every gamer gargle his billionaire monopoly loving chode.
"Please Mr Valve, spit in my mouth and keep overcharging me. I want you to own more yachts."
Valve is subsidizing their services that they provide to gamers.
Lmfao. No they are not.
They are the most profitable company tech company per employee, of any tech company. That's profit, as in revenue - expenses.
PlayStation and Xbox subsidize the cost of the console.
Apple and Google have been having their 30% fees (and the monopolies that allow them) struck down by courts and competition regulators around the world.
So you're a Republican then? You believe in small ineffective government and have no faith that government can do anything, ensuring that it won't?
Congratulations, they converted you to their side without you even realizing.
How many viable game engines / game development toolchains does Valve produce that run on Linux?
You're cherry picking parts of the ecosystem to care about, because it serves your preexisting narrative that Valve=Good, Epic=Bad.
Cite your source dumbass.
