I hate it, there's huge monopolization of game engines right now. Red engine honestly wasn't bad. It was buggy at first, but they worked a good chunk out. I hear developer experience wasn't great but it could be ironed out over time.

I'm worried about so many using unreal, there should be much more competition in the space

I hope Godot matures well over the next 5-10 years. I know its been around a while, but its only been open source and publicly available for less than half of that time.

Feels a lot like where unity was 10-12 years ago. Not yet a AAA engine but a great one for indie and budget titles. It just needs time to grow.

Yeah Unreal is owned by Epic, who have a history of corporate greed. Unity isn't any better. I wish more would look at Godot as an option. I've played some great games written in Godot. Plus it's FOSS!
