It’s mostly legacy at this point, it used to be the easiest way to get top of the line graphics while being performant. There was a time when every new console game used unreal and had the same plastic toy soldier look to it, because thats just how the unreal engine rendered things at the time. But it was incredibly easy to use and most devs had some experience with modding unreal tournament in some way at the time.

So it established itself in the industry, and large publishers made deals with epic, and devs had to learn it in school when game dev started getting taught in school, and so on. If you wanted to work in AAA game dev from 2005-2015 you learned how to use the unreal engine.

But epic got lazy, and devs kept using the engine as a hammer even in games where it just didn’t make sense, so now we’re here. Unreal is fantastic for stage based or single map multiplayer fps games that you want to look the best contemporary technology can look. It can be forced to do anything like any engine can, of course, but it’s hard. However epic still wants money and sells it to all sorts of publishers and dev teams.

…what the fuck are you asking? I mean I know you people sealion constantly when youre out of preprogrammed lines but you’ve actually lost me.

1. People attack police and steal guns
2. People massacre civilians and police with stolen guns
3. Police call in back up, the prc at the time used combined military and police for defense, therefore, tanks.
4. Backup arrives, kills a bunch of people found with stolen guns, does sweeps until they can’t find anyone hostile
5. Tanks start to leave, tankman stops them, climbs on tank, talks with driver pleading for them to stay fearing they didn’t get everyone
6. tankman is taken away by unidentified civilians without resistance from anyone.
7. Tanks leave.
8. The BBC correspondent for the area, despite being in the UK at the time, reports ten gorillion deaths at the hands of those dirty Chinamen
9. Everyone more or less moves on either believing the truth or the BBC until the 2000s when myth about Chinese censorship of the incident emerges because China was starting to economically threaten the West.

Any thing else I can repeat for the millionth time?

He wasn’t confused, he was attempting to stop them from leaving.

The BBC also says trans people are mentally ill and Israel is a peaceful democracy. Let’s not deal with hostile state corproganda

The people that were attacked by the terrorists that stole police weapons.

That’s because you don’t have a democracy.

Nope. Tanks came after the terrorists stole weapons and started killing people. Then the military called in backup, put down said terrorists, and was preparing to roll out when said tank man photo was taken.

Why? I’m not rooting for the CIA and they failed their color revolution in China. Maybe they should’ve stayed with tiny countries.

Nice strawman, try again.

It’s taught in every single school, information about it is online. It’s just not the western lie invented in the 2000s that it was unarmed peaceful kids versus tanks that were called in for no reason… They literally stole military weapons and massacred civilians then took over and barricaded themselves in a local school more than dozen cops died.

The famous tank man photo? That guy wanted the tanks to stay to make sure the area was safe. He was protesting them leaving. There’s video of him that I guarantee people like you haven’t seen despite it being on YouTube.
