The loss of unreal would be rough for the industry. We’d be better off without Epic, but not without unreal

I really enjoyed THE FINALS, but I don't play much games with unreal engine so I can see a future without Epic Games

Pretty much the majority of (large) single player games in development or recently released have been unreal properties. It’s by far the best game engine for its use cases

This is it. Most games beyond small scope/indie projects start in Unreal.

Unreal or Unity, and one of those recently became not really an option.

I think it’s in everyone’s interest to have more variety in engine choice, but that just leads to everyone only being familiar with their proprietary engine implementation.
