Unreal Engine Bs CryEngine

So Crytek have announced they are going to license their engine cheaper than Epic's and here's the real winner, royalty free compared to Unreals 5% commission on commercial projects. Whether that holds up or not is to be seen as I can't really see where the income will come from and details are lacking at present.

Crytek agreed the second hand games market should be killed.

Saddening really. I could live with games publishers opting for a take in the second hand biz but to completely rid them selves of it would be annoying to say the least. I doubt they would be happy to bring the wholesale price down on the games in expectation of higher sales?
