Developers that are interested in making games off Unreal Engine will be able to do so for cheap through a new monthly subscription model. For $19/month, you can have access to "everything," including the engine's complete C++ source code.
Once your game is ready to ship, you'll pay a royalty: 5% of the gross revenue of your game. Unreal Engine 4 is available right now.
Do note that "this is the very first release, aimed at early adopters." Current shortcomings include OS X and Android support. In addition, C++ programming documentation "is sparse."
Epic says that "if you're looking for a more polished product, please check back in 6 months."

I've used Unreal 4 back in October and how anyone manages to ship anything without a lot of programming support would be amazing. Unless they have done some massive updates in the last 4 months, it barely scratches the feature set Unity offers. Most of the systems were just copy paste from Unreal 3 or were schedule to be copied pasted.
UE4 is a nice looking graphics renderer, Unity is a gaming platform.-

They don't but that holds true for most any AAA production and its technology.

If you cancel your subscription you still get access to the last version you downloaded and can still ship games using it provided you pay the royalty.
