I agree. The reason was that it's cheaper and easier and lets them have less people on the payroll. No more having to pay people to build/upgrade/maintain their in house engine. Now they just lease it from Epic. Ez savings. That's why every fucking new game these days is the staggering pile of dogshit that is UE5 (noting that the reason for this is likely that devs just dont know how to use the engine properly, not necessarily that the engine itself sucks)

And the games that are using it are not the games Epic built the engine for - they're not Fortnite clones.
