I just registered at CryEngine because of your comment. Unfortunately, I can't find out how I can get the source after registering for an account. There's only a link to a 'launcher', but it's a .exe and doesn't seem to run on Linux. Googling lands me in their manual that does have a page on compiling for linux, but nowhere does it say how to get the source.

Maybe I'm not a typical game developer, as I don't like to do my actual developing on Windows, but in UE4 I've always felt as a well-loved second class citizen.

Afaik the editor is Windows only for cry engine. You get the source code as part of the launcher download, and you use that to compile for linux
