CryEngine to offer subscription for $9.99/month
Crytek has also revealed that it will be offering a monthly subscription option for their CryEngine.
Unreal Engine isn't the only tool offering indie devs cheap monthly access. Following this morning's announcement, Crytek has also revealed that it will be offering a monthly subscription option for their CryEngine.
Beginning in May, indie developers will be able to access the full version of CryEngine for a monthly subscription fee of $9.90 per user. According to Crytek, it will be "royalty free," making it significantly cheaper than Epic's offering.
"We are really excited to make CryEngine available to hundreds of thousands of developers working with Crytek to make awesome games,” Crytek's Carl Jones said in the announcement.
CryEngine's free SDK will continue to be available for non-commercial development. However, developers wanting to take advantage of the newest features of CryEngine will need to subscribe. For a look at what the free SDK offers now, check out this new video from GDC:

Just the market probably. Unity is really removing the need for the old game-turned-licensed engine model. Even Valve uses Unity for their VR experiments.
So Crytek and Epic are slashing prices. -

Unreal engine is still the more mature, feature-rich, and community supported engine from what I understand

Royalty free, nice.

Andrew, can you get clarification about whether the subscription service includes any source access? Epic's announcement is extremely compelling as they are offering full source access (minus platform specific code for Xbox One and PS4) . Unity has never (or at least not for the past couple of years) provided source access except in very specific, negotiated circumstances.

Living Legends was pretty good, yeah

not saying people who prefer it are wrong. people have different tastes. but mine say MWO didn't really do enough to deserve to come in where LL had created something awesome and completely eclipse it attention wise. I don't think it was as good
but I will cop to really hating persistent unlocks, to take it with that grain of salt
