In this case it went from completely free to pay something. The completely free tier clearly could not last. The company has to pay the bills somehow. They wanted to gain market share in the sector and now that they think they want to recoup some of the cost.
You have cases where companies jack up the prices out of pure greed but i would not count this as one. Why should studio not pay a license fee for high quality software like the unreal engine?
- lamontcg 3y agoPlease read the other thread completely and particularly my last comment. I'm making a macroeconomic comment, you're assuming I'm arguing about the morals of the microeconomic decision making here. Arguing about the morality or ethics or greed involved isn't useful. Just like it wasn't useful to argue about greed involved in our recent spike of inflation. This fairly large company is still just another cog in the macroeconomic machine and their behavior is almost deterministic. The more interesting question to me is what it indicates about the macro climate and if there's stormclouds on the horizon or not.
