Eh? Cryengine  is free for noncommerical use to. I'm sure the majority of larger 3rd party engines are...


This is "free" for commercial use. 


Eh... If you are selling a game and you expect to sell less than $12K/yr then you should probably make new goals.

You can download the engine and use it for everything from game development, education, architecture, and visualization to VR, film and animation. When you ship a game or application, you pay a 5% royalty on gross revenue after the first $3,000 per product, per quarter. It’s a simple arrangement in which we succeed only when you succeed.


Notice it doesn't say anything about commercial use

I'm now filled with determination.

The selling of your product and thus making revenue is commercial use. The software is "free", you just give them a cut if you make revenue over 3k.
