I don't know if blender is comparable at all. There's a lot more to a game engine than rendering, and AFAIK blender is not even intended for real time animation. Ogre is an open source 3d engine, although I don't know about its funding: https://www.ogre3d.org/

Maybe Godot engine is more comparable?

Yes, Godot is more comparable.
And indeed https://twitter.com/TimSweeneyEpic/status/108347697531294925... does mention Godot

Blender has a full game engine included in it, although it looks like it's getting cut with the next release: https://www.blender.org/features/game-creation/

Blender 2.8 has removed the game engine.

Blender started as a closed source, venture-backed startup and was purchased and released to the community by a foundation set up by one of the founders when the startup failed. So it too was subsidized by corporate interests that ultimately saw no return on their investment.
