UT4 For Consoles

[Hunter]

And I'm sure we're gonna be running into almost the same problems that Skyrim ran into when they tried to do paid community content.

That was down to the way Valve, not Bethesda ran it. What we will probably see are those more high profile modders releasing stand along UE4 games, not mods.

As of this moment, UE4 is making hardly any money.

UE4 may not be, but UE3 has made a shit ton of money for Epic, along with a couple of high profile releases. If they weren't making money UE4 wouldn't be free.

We don't know that.

I'm confident UE4 is making quite a considerable chunk of cash, with much more to come.

 

[Arnox]

Maybe. Again though, didn't see any really popular games made with UE4 that are already out though.

I don't think you understand how Epic's business works, nor how forward-planning it is.

Once again, I didn't say they weren't ever going to make any money. Not at all. As I said, I'm sure they're going to be making a massive chunk of money with this if it's anywhere near as successful as UE3. And it definitely has all the signs of really taking off. A lot of developers have said that UE4, even compared to the new Unity engine, is just better built. Which hardly surprises me. Epic's been in this business now for a long time.
