    Ugh, I hate reading endorsements for Unreal Engine. I wish that engine would be abandoned.

      A ton of their tech has been an important reference for other engines. I don’t think there’s any reason to hate UE if it’s basically pioneering different techniques for everyone else to copy.

        Cool, but it’s also ruining games by “pioneering” shit technologies, such as temporal AA, making every game look like a blurry mess.

        It’s also a bad thing to have everyone using one engine, especially UE given how Epic likes to exert it’s control over developers through it.

        We should stop endorsing it, instead we should highlight and praise devs using alternate engines.

        Engines like Unity and Unreal have been great, offered indie devs an easy way to create some fantastic games, but we should push smaller devs to try engines like Godot now for that as Unity and UE got too big for their boots.
