  • 59% of games sold on steam either use unity or unreal. Not released, but sold. I think it’s the general opinion and you’re an outlier here. I invite you to post lists of your recently bought games or most played games. I doubt they all have their own custom engine.

    Only 10% of new games used a custom engine, and they are by far mostly triple A games from big companies. Unless you just don’t play indie games, you have bought unreal or unity games even if you buy less in general.

    And yes, that means 10% account for 40% of sales but it’s no suprise since having your own engine and a big budget go hand in hand.

    It’s absolutely insane to actually think we are worse off. Would you rather a walled garden, where only multi million dollar companies can afford to develop games, just because of a few shovelware garbage titles that just get ignored anyways? Do you get a shit game as a gift every Christmas or something? The negatives aren’t even affecting anything.

    Here are the stats if you are interested. https://www.creativebloq.com/3d/video-game-design/unreal-engine-dominates-as-the-most-successful-game-engine-data-reveals













  • I was in a bike accident once. I walked away with cartilage inflammation but the driver ended up breaking a different bone in 3 out of 4 limbs, he spent a month in the hospital. I told myself I was too old for that shit and definitely too young to die from it.

    Scariest moment of my life and I’m never ever getting on a motorcycle again. Fact is I got very very lucky. Wasn’t even our fault, an other motorcycle came into our lane and hit us. They were drunk but if it would have been a car or if we were going faster, we would be dead.
