RE: [GD-General] Prices of well-known 3D engines

Developing you own graphic engine will most probably cost more for the =
company then bying one already existing.
Unless you want to base a whole line of you titles on your own =
technology or sell this technology.
Its a tough trade off as always :)

I won't argue with that, but you said "it's cheaper to buy", so are you
implying that the only way to get a good (really good) graphics engine =
is to
buy one? Or just that, for many developers, it's more realistic to buy =
one?
