It’s so arbitrary. Epic games is a capitalist institution and therefore it’s not doing anything out of the goodness of its heart but it gives shit away like candy. It gives really good triple a games away every month and on the game dev side they’re constantly releasing free assets and buying tools and making them available for unreal engine. The new character creator they just released is pretty remarkable and not too long ago they made a partnership that lets you use tons of photogrammetry assets for free.

The only thing they do that sucks for gamers is buy exclusives but that’s your capitalism at work baby. All consoles have been doing that for ages.
