As an avid game developer, I rely heavily on Epic Games' library of Megascans 3D assets. Given the restrictive budgets associated with independent game development, freemium resources like Megascans become crucial for us to maximize the quality of our creations. However, recent talk of these assets becoming paid beyond 2024 has sparked concerns within our community. It is understood that Epic Games is a commercial entity, but it's important to remember that their success has been built on the talent and creativity of developers at all levels, many of whom rely on access to affordable resources. In 2019, when Epic Games acquired Quixel, they made Megascans free for all Unreal Engine users to boost creativity and equality among developers. This has benefitted countless aspiring and professional developers, including myself. Let's call on Epic Games to uphold this spirit of shared resource and ensure Megascans remains free for users beyond 2024. What are you waiting for, sign the petition!
