Recent industry news doing the rounds is from Epic Games, who yesterday publicly shared an email that was sent by Tim Sweeney about laying off 16% of the company.
This and selling Bandcamp on to some shady ad(?) firm would not make me want to choose Unreal Engine if I was looking for a new one after the recent entshittification of Unity (I'd have gone for Godot anyway but ...)
I've seen it, and it looks quite nice. Might give it a try if I ever get into game making. But some project that want to harness the full power of systems like Lumen, Niagara, Megascans, etc, don't have much of an alternative.
