    But arguing over whether or not you should use this engine or that engine, the engine is in service to the game. Is the game good? I don’t care what the engine is. The game’s good! Let’s play the game.

    That’s the problem, the games aren’t good anymore!

      Yeah they can focus more time on making the game good, if they don’t have to focus their energy on a bad engine.

        That engine terrifies me at this point. I’ll admit I don’t have any knowledge on the inner workings of a game engine, but it feels like it has to be held together with band-aids and gum

      That understates the importance of a studio having respect for the customers. Yes being a good game is the most important thing but if ES 6 released tomorrow on the same engine as they’ve been using, there would a community uproar.
