>>714576762 (OP)Yes because UE5 is the bleeding edge game engine.
They're not optimising the engine, they're just discovering and developing new technologies. Theoretically it's not UE5's fault since developers 100% know this. But the engine is just shit because they've not put in the effort to making it not run shit yet.
>conspiracy timeI think that UE6 will be hyper optimised, something like 60% better performance by just updating the engine. Even better if you put effort info it.
BUT UE6 will have an insane fee. They're getting studios and the market stuck on UE5 and then when they announce UE6, they'll force the hands of developers to take the fees of UE6 because from then on, any game that is UE5 will be marked as anti consumer.
If I was Epic Games, I'd do this 100%. The easiest way to turn a profit and save face from the general public.
