Whats wrong with unreal?

It's a demanding engine to try to optimize for, it's not bad when it is, it just takes a lot of effort and some developers don't know how

What are the alternatives? Unity shot themselves in the foot not long ago and other than these two, I dont see any other options

Most devs used to create their own engines, but because of the Unreal hype many of them stopped

That‘s actually not really True.

Creating your own engine is an extremely expensive and time consuming thing. Especially if you want to use it for multiple games.

It can go great like RE engine.
Or it can go like frostbite and just make it worse for devs.

It takes more time and resources yes, but it’s a much better investment that contract work and unreal engine due to the reasons I said previously

I feel like the whole point of getting into game development was to create your own engine and want to show it off.

I don't think I could even count how many freaking games licensed the Quake 2 engine back in the day.

Wouldnt say just because of the unreal hype.. Look at cdpr for example: they made their own engine for cyberpunk 2077 and it was a bug filled disaster. Unreal makes game dev lot more accessible. Allows for beautiful and complex games while removing the game engine worry. Just a plus in my opinion

That's the lazy mindset that makes me despise Unreal. So instead of working on their proprietary engine, they just threw up their hands and said "let's just use an engine that will make our game feel like practically every other game right now". Variety is what we need not a monopoly.

Yeah it's difficult to make your own engine so I don't blame them at all
