Comparing the race to the bottom of consumer product prices with a freemium (not really free i know) model for b2b tools doesn't make a lot of sense. These engines will now be accessible by people who didn't have a chance before. If you are an AAA dev (or hugely successful with your indie game) you still have to pay huge sums, at least with Unreal Engine. To use CryEngine for 10 bucks, you have to qualify as an indie dev. So they are opening up to more potential users to upsell to, which in todays booming game market makes a lot of sense.
