The company's value will decrease exponentially if acquired by MS as a lot of 3rd party devs will stop using the Unreal Engine with the concern that MS will only allow them to release their games on the 360. Also, the use of the Unreal Development Kit is free of charge to the public currently. Somehow I don't think MS will be as generous. They're going to lose a lot of support from small, independent devs as well who someday may become major devs. http://www.udk.com/licensing.html |
I might have misread the article but it sounded like they have to pay them. Unless you don't intend to sell it. Which most devs do. Am I missing something?
