 But like EA you'd assume most of the largest devs have their own engines anyways. I mean, why bother making your own if you can use another one without royalties (making it really cheap for AAA games).

 

It is cheaper for a major developer to use another engine or create their own than to pay epic 5%.

Unity would come up way cheaper than Unreal for AAA devs. 

Which AAA games are based on Unity?

The Unity engine gets better and better (Dreamfall Chapters, République and some others look quite nice), but it is still a long way to play with the big boys (Unreal Engine, Cry Eingine, Frostbyte...).
