Game Development or World Changes after GDC 2014

[Anonymous]

Ahoy my comrades, I have an amazing news for you!
World leading game engines changed their price politics!

Unreal Engine 4 и CryEngine moved to "EaaS" platform (Engine as a Service)
it is mean that both engines (in the same way as Unity for the last year) moved to the month subscription.

Have a look what does it mean in raw digits:

UNITY:
Unity Pro – $75
iOS Pro – $75
Android Pro – $75
Team Licence – $20
—————————-
Total: $245 p/m for ideal collection. Obviously you can chop off some components but still, that is ideal indie team bundle.

UNREAL ENGINE 4:
$19 p/m
What do u get:
UT4 – Game Engine itself
original source code of UT4 engine on GitHub’е
Supported Platforms: Win/Mac/iOS/Android/Web – all included
——————————————————–
Total: $19 p/m + 5% Epic royalty fees from gross income

CRYENGINE:
$9.99 p/m and no any royalty fees
Supported Platforms: PC/Consoles/iOS/Android (possible more)
More info in May
——————————
Total: $9.99 p/m

Looks like we have new Game Engine winner = CryEngine!!!
