YES, it does affect game developers, but in a positive way! It has been a fair and necessary move because those other industries are making money with the engine without giving anything in return, despite it being something that no other tool in the world allows you to do - real-time architectural visualization, film, and TV. The money from Fortnite is running out, and this was the perfect solution to continue getting the necessary benefits to develop those huge roadmaps they present every 4 months without affecting gamedevs. I recommend checking out the public roadmap for the next version as it is more ambitious than all the previous ones.

SMART. Keeping it free for beginners in all aspects allow low entry to escape. Allowing any one to learn ANY aspect, become proficient and TRY a idea, if you are successful share the success, if not, youre not on the hook for a major cost sink. SO MANY company's could learn no entry is how you keep your product the most relevant long term as more people will learn in your environment. Granted you are in the top 5 of tools for industry (cant make bad good cause its free) The NFL/MLB/NHL all use unreal in some aspects, billion $ company's.... fair ask them to share a small fee (small in respect to their profits)

Its not the best optics on the surface level, but if you think about it. It really is the best time to do it. All eyes are on the subject because of Unity, which means Epic Games gets to take advantage of all that free attention to avoid having to pay to advertise that their platform's monetization model is leagues better than Unity's. Its a genius PR move, which also allows them to save face for having had to downsize so drastically.

I'm glad Epic Games are now charging for companies and large corporations such as Paramount, Amazon Prime, Disnep, HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu, etc... because how greedy and wealthy they are for enterprise use and their content is somewhat awful and terrible, and lazy since enterprise was free years ago, this should fix to make great content instead of enterprise being free.

I'm curious. I want to buy your survival game course, but I'm hesitant because it doesn't support Korean subtitles. What I want to know is whether you plan to support Korean subtitles in the future. If so, I can wait forever. I sent you an email but haven't received a reply yet. On a different note, the 'Blueprint' course you uploaded to YouTube was really helpful to me. thank you! š

Man... you scared the hell outta me...
Anyway I believe it does make sense... automotive industry generates and spends so much money in commercials that makes sense charging them. The timing of such an announcement by the way... damn... that's intentional freaking people out, and probably another shot to Unity after Epic "allowed" Unity to give away a couple of assets for free in the marketplace basically mocking them for the recent events.
