Epic removing the final barrier to entry. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/gaming/2015/03/03/unreal-engine-4-goes-free-to-download/1
Awesome news, I've been wanting to do some bits in the new Unreal engine for a while now so this is absolutely fantastic for me and my hobby projects. I've been wanting to bash my head on a wall for the past 6+ months of working (or lack of) with CryE3, it just seems to overcomplicate every little detail. I've always enjoyed working in UE3 so I'm hoping that Unreal continues to be as enjoyable to work with as it has in the past.
