A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

you've never worked in game dev if you think swapping out your game engine is an even remotely trivial task. you're talking about actual years worth of work to get done. This isn't like throwing out some shitty npm package or changing javascript frameworks. that is the reason so many developers view these changes as an existential threat, because switching engines years into development of a new game simply isn't an option.
