    Oh, it's an UE4 game?

    All interest immediately lost.

    Neat.

    UE4 is completely open source and you can even simply download tool kits for mod support. It's all up to the devs.

    As long as moddability is retained, I don't give a shit what it's made on. That being said, I've only seen a small handful of competently made UE4-based games.

    UE4 offers zero moddability.

    Is it? I thought Epic took royalties

    Edit: I checked the site. It's not open source. You pay 5% if you hit some income targets per quarter

    That's news to me. Can you name a single UE4 game that is moddable?

    ARK, Conan Exiles, Squad (Project Reality standalone) and Mordhau just off the top of my head

    It is fully open source. It's just not free and open source and you're held to the terms of a license and can't access the source without agreeing to it.

    Also you can access unmoddable UE game's files with certain tools: https://www.gildor.org/
    Of course it depends on the game though, and obiously not all files can be opened.

    Maybe I phrased it wrong, so my bad.
    What I meant is that devs have access to the UE4 sourde code and can change it.

    I'd be much more worried if it was Unity, which it isn't. UE4 is ok.

    Amazing. Someone already leaked some gameplay though. The graphics on this mutant look incredible.
