Well, that is not that surprising, it is a company that doesn't have unlimited resources (despite the 800 pound Facebook gorilla behind them). So they focus on where the money is - commercial game devs. Focus on Unity and Unreal 4 are only logical in that context, as those are the two most popular engines on the market at the moment. I am sure they work with other companies out of the open as well (Valve at least), but indies and non-mainstream tech users will be always at a disadvantage - if it works for them, great, if not, too bad ... I guess it is the inevitable consequence of a company transitioning from a tiny Kickstarter startup to a 50+ head business - you go after the low hanging fruit first, so that you can keep paying salaries and keep the "experiments" and "nice haves" for later (if ever). That doesn't really make it any less sad story, though :( J. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
