The game developer's conference has been going on this week, so I'll recap the things I've been paying attention to:
Day 1:
Epic announces Unreal Engine 4 is free up until you release a title, after that it's 5% royalty on $3,000 gross revenue or more for each quarter.
Day 2:
Unity 5 announces it's finally out of it's beta stage and has a free version and a pro license, each are royalty free
Valve and HTC Announces a VR Partnership
Valve Announces the Steam Link
Valve announces officially that Source 2 is coming and is free to content developers.
Basically first two days of GDC and 3 of the largest game engines in... gaming... have announced free platforms.
Good week to be a games dev...
