Epic/Tim Sweeney can only do one thing really well: crying to the public.
Fuck Epic. Don't care if they merge all of their games into one shitty game. Fall Guys was cool before Epic bought it, same thing with Rocket League. Now I don't care about either game.
They want to be on iOS so bad with their game and store so they can farm credit cards of children's parents, yet they don't care about Linux at best, or are hostile against it at worst.
in the Unreal 3 era, almost every game was running on the unreal engine, and no one gave a fuck about the ID tech of the day (follow up to quake 3 engine)
Aren't both the entire COD lineage and the Source engine based around the quake 3 engine, they never used Unreal?
I think with source it's q2/1. Idk about COD, but sure, engines developed during the quake 3 era were probably 80/20 split. I'm taking about late 00s early 10s where even street fighter was on unreal engine(which it still might be)
The id tech I'm denigrating is the doom 3 engine which was used to make doom 3, quake 4, rage, prey and basically nothing else
