From: William Donzelli <aw288(a)osfn.org> This is more and more true. Content, all things being equal, is really what pulls a gamer back in, so many shops license an engine to avoid the cost of that development effort. Indeed, id Software (makers of Doom, Quake, Castle Wolfenstien, etc.) makes far more licensing their engine than on their own game. The Unreal engine is also very popular. Oddly enough, no machine language to be seen in either. Ken
