Uh. It&#x27;s late, so I might not be processing this right, but this might be the most insanely amazing thing I&#x27;ve seen Amazon do, or maybe any technology company. They just, from what I can tell:<p>a) Commoditized game engines<p>b) Released an open source game engine that can build AAA games<p>c) Are going to bootstrap an open source community around the game engine while supporting it<p>d) Are not forcing the use of any of their services to develop games with this engine<p>As someone who has been working in VR the last year or two I&#x27;ve been saying for a while that it&#x27;s going to be important that we see a rise of open source in game engine technology the way we&#x27;ve seen it with the web before we really have arrived at having VR be the next platform. This has felt more like a dream than a real possibility: I didn&#x27;t in my wildest dreams think we&#x27;d see an open source modern game engine anytime in the next 5 years since I assumed it&#x27;d have to be developed from scratch. And here we are having Amazon put this out, which might very well overturn the entire industry overnight.
