My biggest grief with Unity is that they only made the C#, but not the C++ part of the engine open source. So there can be release-blocking bugs that you cannot fix yourself, due to lack of source code. And when I tried to purchase Unity source code access, I was just ignored.
Unreal Engine on the other hand has source code available for everything, so you can be sure that if such a bug hits, you can just patch it yourself and continue working.
- gentleman11 6y agoNone of that is open source
- m_t 6y agoPart of it is. It's not free software, but part of the source code cab be accessed by the game devs.
- fxtentacle 6y agoThat is correct. But since I'm in the business of selling my source code, I don't find that problematic. Actually, it kind of helps me that my customers know that the engine is not free. I need access to the source code to understand hidden magic and fix bugs, but I don't need a license that would allow me to redistribute the modified source code.
