I don't know if you have followed the numbers, but Steam is a massacre right now. So many low quality Unity/Unreal copies that ruins peoples lives making them indebted because they think they will make it as indie by just pasting new content into the same engine. Content is becoming over saturated. Yet another look/sound/storyline that nobody cares about. What we need is new engines. Unity is pure madness, so bloated not even the Unity devs. know how to progress. Same for Unreal.

> So many crap Unity/Unreal copies that ruins peoples lives making them indebted for life because they think they will make it as indie. Thats because people are making crappy games. all unity and unreal did was lower the bar to making a game. At the end of the day, its about the quality of the game + how well you market it. Sure there are a lot of shit games made in Unity. but you also get gems like cities skylines and cuphead too. The difference is the quality and attention put into making a GOOD Game. good games take worse. a platforn like unity makes creating a good game for a dev from impossible to possible.

  Again content is dead, what we need is engines. Skylines and Cuphead are just a copies, they don't reinvent anything fundamental.

    > are just a copies, they don't reinvent anything fundamental. if by copies, you mean they fit in a genere? The engines are constrained by the heardware. what we really need is new paradigms for how we interact with computers before engines are going to start giving us new novel ways of doing things. at the end of the day, all an engine is giving you is a fast and performant way to draw to the screen and send audio to the speakers based on whats coming in from the input.

      You are trivializing engines some what. They are the final media/medium for humans for eternity. I would even argue they are the final art, combining all other arts. Eyes, ears and hands will be the interface forever. Brain computer wont happen.
