And throughout all this, they still refuse to release even the Unreal 1 source code to the public for preservation purposes.

To highlight one of the "cool things" on there - the new version control system they announced seems like actually could be decent (and is independent of UE) Git kinda sucks for binary assets, perforce kinda sucks with how it's a bit unwieldy at times, lore (the new thing) claims to address that

The UE6 announcement was indeed quite depressing. I dared not look after I saw the AI crap.

Can't stress enough how unsustainable this shit is. Nobody human at Epic is having a good time bsky.app/profile/joew...

It’s the logical next (shitty) step for the capitalist growth machine. You can grow by selling more licenses and support seats to devs but that’s slow. So you go after Roblox and sell stuff to a potential audience 100x bigger than the pro market. Even if it means sacrificing that market to pivot

Also it's annoying that the AI shit in UE6 might not be so bad because it does seem like you can just avoid it easily enough thankfully from looking at the videos but it really erodes what little faith remains that the whole engine isn't just entirely vibe coded crap

I hate Verse not because of anything wrong with it. Hell, they have some interesting ideas with transactions and all that. But I don't want to use an experimental research project, I want to use something that helps me ship.
