" Who do these companies expect to pay for their systems "
I asked the same question , some time ago, on GameDev.net
I was replied by a guy who claimed to work for a well known software house
He said that someone in their team had the same idea
Why should we spend so much money ?
They purchased an Indie game engine
At the beginning everything was working fine but in the long run they came across a lot of unexpected bugs
The fps drammatically dropped
Their game refused to work on some platforms
The author was unable to provide any support
At the end they switched back to expensive engine and they paid the royalties
