CryEngine becomes available as Engine-as-a-Service

GDC gives us a lot of surprises - after the announcement that the Unreal Engine 4 is becoming available to everyone by subscription , the same crytek comrades stated. Starting from May of this year, indie developers will be able to access CryEngine for $ 9.99 / EUR per month without any royalties.

The free SDK will also remain available, but it will not provide access to the latest engine features. It is also still not entirely clear whether the source codes of the engine will be available and whether it will be possible to continue using the engine without having an active subscription. About all this, Crytek promises to tell in the near future.
