> I don’t think players care about the architectural purity of your product. But we can kinda see how the "quick and easy" approach with modern engines is leading to lots and lots of sloppy games with leaky seams. I always appreciate it when a gamedev writes their own engine, and IME these tend to come out as the more polished games. Doing your own engine would also enable open sourcing it, which is something gamers can be quite grateful for 10-20 years down the road.
