I think this doesn't change the equation for hobbyist/ game developers.
Unreal is starting to get traction as a 3d model tool (free unlike the pricey: Cinema4d or Maya). It was used on set for "virutual rooms" used in productions like the madolorian. This use of Unreal wasn't being charged for.. But now it is.
But Godot seems to have a lot of traction for game dev anyway. It seems to be a lot of places.
Unreal is a big giant tool, with tons of leavers. They have a robust marketplace of assets and such that makes life easier for companies and such.
