    The AAA industry is obsessed with using their own game engines, to the point where the AA industry can run circles around them using Unreal.

    You can give the IP to a random Norwegian (they’re always Scandinavian) game studio you’ve never heard of before and get a better product.

      Oh yes Unreal.

      The one that is causing the majority of games to play like dogshit at 20 fps with mandatory frame generation

        That’s the studio’s fault not the game engines. There’s also unity of course and godot

          Unreal is just a resource hog. I can play AA 3D games on my laptop at 30FPS, but I can’t run an Unreal starter scene with a sphere at more than 20. They just don’t give a shit about anything that’s not top end hardware.

          Considering how hardcore lemmy/fediverse users are about socialism, fuck capitalism and corps, this is a very strange take to make about using Unreal or Unity instead of running the inhouse engine or godot as the primary argument.
