Founder and CEO of Crytek, Jevat Yerli:

CryEngine V shows our desire not only to give developers advanced technologies, but also to make them as accessible as possible. The emergence of CRYENGINE Marketplace, a new UI, support channels. All this reduces the threshold of entry for working with a new product, and each engine determines the comfortable cost of the engine individually. The center of our new “Pay what u want” model is the developers themselves, and we hope that this approach will only lead to closer and more productive collaboration within the community.

Also at the moment on the resource humblebundle.com is the action - Humble CryEngine Bundle , where developers can get for free or purchase various gaming assets for CryEngine.
