We invited US team to analyze S400s to see if there is security threat or not

instead they could reverse engineer S400 maybe because it can shoot F35s 😄

Sorry for necro'ing this - but is this gross income PER GAME or per person/studio? From their FAQ it reads
A 5% royalty is due only if you are distributing an off-the-shelf product that incorporates Unreal Engine code (such as a game) and the lifetime gross revenue from that product exceeds $1 million USD; in this case, the first $1 million remains royalty-exempt.
Making it seem like it's per product/game but I just want to make sure I'm understanding it correctly.
Do you have a source for this? Not doubting - just had this question come up and looking for more info
ivory hatch
Thanks for the link - not to be pedantic but the answer to that question says UE4-based games. Was this applied to UE5 as well?

Also not the first time they won / sued. But tbh well deserved, cheating in online games is just lame. Let alone being the person that actually makes it.

BRUH cheats make that much money?
Destiny 2 has several progression systems that incentivize and even necessitate winning in pvp, so there's particularly strong incentives to cheat in that game, or at least to abandon the idea of fair play.

Awesome, I figured as much just wanted to make sure. Thank you
terse wasp
It's pretty cut-n-dry
And also - the first million is free. Game makes 1.1 million, you pay 5% of that 100k. Not of the the full 1.1 million @ivory hatch
So you make 1.1 million, you owe Epic 5k.
ivory hatch
Gotcha that is great to know. Thanks again for the clarification
primal summit
a really good deal, imo
if your game makes $1,000,001.00, epic might be confused by the $0.05 check
one thing I wonder is how often they expect royalty payments
terse wasp
Once a quarter I believe.
So 4 times a year.
Don't quote me on that though. I haven't had to pay 'em jack shit yet.
Standard indie stuff
terse wasp
if your game makes $1,000,001.00, epic might be confused by the $0.05 check
They probably have some clause in there where if its less than X amount, don't even worry about it.
Because processing it would cost more.
primal summit
or just roll it into next quarter
terse wasp
Yeah, that's what I mean.
primal summit
it sounds like, from an accounting perspective, f2p at $990k is a safe bet
terse wasp
Statistically - like 99% of us using the engine as an indie, won't ever have to pay Epic anything. Effectively making the engine free for us.
And if you do end up being one of those rare indies that actually make more than 100k, you are already saving money versus the other paid popular engines at that threshold.

and those few who do will be pretty happy to hit that much revenue from a single product anyway

I was looking through the amazing concept art for UT4, kinda wish Epic had just told the community where to go and made it themselves
Pretty clear they had a solid idea of what they wanted to do, its abit like the whole McDonalds versus Subway thing. People go to McDonalds because they dont want to think about what they eat, they just want a number 1 or a number 5, they dont wanna be asked what sort of cheese they want etc

if so what's your opinion on file based routing for backends
ehh I'll just do file based routing it helps write more verbose endpoints and not cram all the functionality into a singular endpoint
queen slate
I'm not very good at shooting. Can I still play Hogwarts Legacy?
fluid bloom
if so what's your opinion on file based routing for backends
sounds extremely fragile
if by file based you mean the path of the file dictates the path of the handler
proud jay
never done file based routing
but I've seen it in someJS backends
I don't like the idea all that much personally though
proud jay
I'm not very good at shooting. Can I still play Hogwarts Legacy?
yes, there's not really aiming
you just point in the general direction and the spells autotarget enemies that are in that direction
proud jay
it's pretty nice tbh
played it for 13 hours now
quite enjoying it
combat is really neat, although the difficulty can vary at points, but you can switch difficulty modes at the fly if you want so not that annoying
the main quest is also quite interesting overal
although some filler missions here and there, but again not that annoying

I'd play if I had steam deck

why only on steam deck

you know "not killing your performance by not using lumen" is a thing, right?

what does baked light have to do with forward/deferred shading?
celest musk
but at least half of that lumens will never reach earth i guess
well, obviously more
but half of the sphere points away from earth...
mossy nexus
considering the size of earth, the amount of light that hits us compared to not, is probably so close to 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% might as well be darkness 😄

we need to add some mirrors and direct more of it towards us
