back in the day I learned a LOT about game programming from reading Unreal 4 source code.

their code always struck me as pragmatic. It wasn't pretty, but it worked. It solved the problem it needed to solve (most of the time). I always respected that.

so it's no surprise to me that again, Epic would follow the pragmatic decision and choose to adopt AI, despite inevitable public backslash. well done.

@sepisoad Its source available, which means you have some of the open source rights (access to source code, ability to modify it)
but none of the control aspects of open source (you cant relicense, sell, distribute any of your modifications outside of epics control)
