    Well, Epic has released the source for the original Unreal, though only under NDA to a particular group of people. That's how we now have a native Linux port of Unreal.

    By the way, Deus Ex does work perfectly though Wine, I played it just a month ago.

      So these $19 per month are what? Per game you develop (way too cheap)? Per user of your game(way too expensive)? Or what?

        Per developer.

            actually it's $19 per developer + 5% of the companies gross revenue on the product. All of the big name engines other than Unity have a percent cut of profits on the product in their licensing scheme.

              Crytek has anounced a $9.90/developer licensing scheme that doesn't include any royalties. There aren't any other details just yet, but the press release is here.

              I guess they'll be releasing details pretty soon.

                Does UE4 provides native OpenGL support or through a Direct3D wrapper?

                Not sure if I'm mixing things up here but either UE4 or CryEngine (maybe both)
                only provide OpenGL through a wrapper (like Valve for the old Source Engine).

                  You're thinking about the CryEngine. UE1 and UE2 used pure OpenGL, and I don't see a reason why UE4 would have it any other way. Though I haven't seen any official information either way.

                      Nope.
