343 Industries is reportedly moving to Unreal Engine for future Halo games

Once there was a time I wished more games would just be built in UE. Now I think it's good enough, the industry needs to stop consolidating so much power into one single company.

We got lucky Valve just turned lazy and didn't get too much into anti-consumer. But also, big part of that is just because they didn't go public, why should we take another chance and give another single company control over an entire segment of the market? can you imagine Unreal Engine becoming the de facto standard for new games and they deciding to make an IPO? Would be Netflix all over again but now in the gaming market.

Where's the love for Cryengine and Unity?
 
Because Unity is not nearly as powerful and in C# which is not the standard language used by most in game development. Not that it's that difficult to switch if you are fluent in programming but it does mean it's slightly more inconvenient which in turns means less development will happen for it.

Cryengine is a one trick pony and not as versatile compared to UE4 and with UE5 it takes Cryengines graphics strongsuit and makes it irrelevant considering the quality UE5 can put out.
