seems like a good call. I realize this is from a ground level but: The games getting made by the Unreal Engine today are of such high quality and graphic fidelity. They've really hit critical mass for the AA and AAA games, and paying the piper is looking like a smarter and smarter investment. Do film companies write their own editing software, or 3d pipelines, or design and build their own cameras? Some of them, sure. But most of them are purchasing and customizing off-the-shelf solutions. It just makes sense.
