  I guess that since Epic owns Unreal Engine that bad news for Epic means good news for Godot?

  I don’t think that Epic is going to want to divest from Unreal considering how much money it makes.

  I also don’t think that it’s a zero-sum game. As a developer I want Unreal (and Unity) to be great so it creates more competition. Unreal has led the way in a lot of cool gaming tech that Godot is picking up.

    Epic actually invested in Godot with their MegaGrant. Godot is also available on the Epic store.

      Epic also gave money to Lutris, while Epic’s CEO was smearing Linux users on twitter, so I wouldn’t count on Epic’s stance on things and where some of Epic’s money going aligning any time soon. Those megagrants feel very disingenuous to me (doesn’t mean that those money do not help those “underdog” projects, though).
