Is this the death knell for subscription based engines?

It seems to be. Don't know if Esenthel i able to fight such engines.

That's like saying how will Unity fight off Unreal. or similar actually. People go with what they trust, plenty of devs hates Unreal for certain things.

Just to let everyone know, Esenthel Licensing system will remain as it is. I think it's fair and affordable
Overall cost is still way, way less than other engines, which have either royalty fees or much higher licensing costs.
If one day I become a millionaire by chance, I don't mind making the engine "more free".
But right now it's my main source of income

The current Esenthel licenses are more than fair, Greg. And besides: starving programmers tend to work a bit slower and leave more bugs behind

For what Esenthel offers, i also agree that current license value is more than fair... great great value for money!!!
