Right, but we're not making AAA games. When comparing Unity Pro licenses to UE4 and others (now Amazon) for smaller game studios, UE4 is still compelling technologically. That said, it's licensing for a small studio like ours if far more expensive than Unity.

My point was basically that Amazon's pricing isn't outrageous, comparatively.

Their pricing is fine (it's very competitive as I mentioned below). Their license terms are not fine. Lock in is awful.
