New info from the Epic v Google trial shows that in 2018, Google had floated the idea of teaming up with Tencent to buy full 100% ownership of Epic Games.
Pretty much the majority of (large) single player games in development or recently released have been unreal properties. It’s by far the best game engine for its use cases
Unreal or Unity, and one of those recently became not really an option.

Godot is trying to break in, and seems to be picking up some steam though
Don’t threaten me with a good time

But Tencent is worse.
Epic does a lot good things that aren’t competing with the de facto monopoly on pc game sales.
