      Red Engine is good. Perfect CPU utilization, no compilation stutter, path tracing. Unreal just can't compete, it's just more popular and if you are a shitty company with huge turnover rates you don't constantly need to train new people and indians you outsurce to how to use it, just use industry standard trash engine and everyone from hyberabad to new delhi is on the same page.

        It's not, there is a reason why Cyberpunk from RPG devolved into an action with a leveling system. Inhouse engines are made for one game and fall short if you try to make something different.

    Firstly, why constantly pay 50 or more employees to develop an in house engine when you can pay a small fee for an engine that will far outclass your own for relatively cheap.

    Secondly, why spend months educating people in your in house engine when everyone already knows Unreal and can mostly just jump right in?

    Thirdly, a lot of the old staff who know the engine and it's tech have moved on. So maintaining it is getting harder and harder.

    CDPR was always shit with technology.
    Failed console port of TW1 almost bankrupted the company. TW3 had unstable in-house tools that were crashing through the entire game development. CP77's engine being unstable as frick being well known in early 2020.
    UE is becoming extremely popular because there are a lot of people experienced with UE, it's widely available, it's fully multiplatform, and there are a lot of cutting edge features, like lumen and nanite, and supports a lot of 3rd party tools and middleware.

            RHI parallelization is generally a good thing but I think you would be surprised how infrequently the CPU draw thread is the frame time bottleneck in an average game.

            Here are the things that UE(4/5) does to make games run worse
            >PSO framework sucks, shader compilation microstutter is a core engine design flaw for PC use, it’s on Epic to get a good solution
            >the engine makes it really easy for hacks and idiots to slap together something that looks good, which means it runs like shit because it wasn’t built by experienced technical artists and developers.

            That’s it. UE can be extremely performant if you use it right. But it’s way too easy to use it poorly and still have a shippable product at the end.

    Two main reasons:
    People are constantly leaving and being replaced by new hires who don't know in-house tech. These diversity hires will be more familiar with Unreal.
    Then there's outsourcing. It is no secret that AAA productions outsource a lot of their work to India and similar places. It is an easier process with Unreal.

    tl;dr more efficient slop production

    Using UE makes it easier to have a rotating team. If people keep leaving due to shitty management, they can hire new gays with no problems since everyone knows how to use UE.
    In house engines require training from new hirings and a lot about them can become lost knowledge if the right guy decides to quit. (This is why CP77 was such a mess and took forever to release).

                Yeah maybe esp and maybe aim assist. What I mean by locking on is that when he is shooting someone his crosshair does not leave them aka aim assist. He could just be a huge nerd and had a really good game. If there is a pattern of this then it would be more sus. If you need an example that one popular warzone female uses a undetectable esp hack and you can see countless examples of it. Especially when she played on lan and all of a sudden had trash player knowledge and was complete ass

    Streamline the onboarding process.
    More people tinker with non in-house engines like Unreal and Unity (and of those two more people frick with Unreal than Unity, just look at Palworld), so it's quicker to hire a guy that knows Unreal and have them jump into a project right away than it is to scour through applicants to see who's already familiar with RED engine or to go and hire a promising looking developer and have to teach them RED.
