That's a lot of cash money. I'm still a bit confused at how much of this money will go to the actual engine and how much of it will go to supporting W4 in general, such as allowing devs to publish Godot games for consoles.

Baby steps. One dev here, one user there.

But what if we would rather have an engine that's good?

Good for what? I'd argue software freedom aught to be your priority.

So why even bother with a game engine? Write your rending from scratch and it's as free as you want.

@FaeDrifter @tabular then you just use unreal. What kind of question is that?
Why people expect over the top quality and incompatible features from an indie engine? You can't have paygated console support in a free open source project. How is it even supposed to work? If you want something in a public project just go and do it. It's free!

I can ask similar question: why should I even play indie games if I can just run AAA from Sony or whatever? Why can't I just have a good game?
